About me

“I think in Black and White, but you think in colour straight away.”

My boss once said this to me in a meeting, during a previous career in Marketing.

Even then I was known as a storyteller, and that is a skill I bring to all of my scores.

​

What has stayed with me are the soundtracks of the films and video games I came to love as a child, which inspired me to do the same. These days, I enjoy pushing my boundaries across genres and discovering new ways to create and capture sounds, especially through experimental techniques.

In the span of three years at the Victorian Conservatory of Music, I have scored films which have been screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival and Australian Youth Film Festival, alongside original music and sound design for productions at Grant Street Theatre and Martin Myer Arena.

Music and Technology

I've become fascinated by the intersection of music, science, technology and visual experiences, having produced several projects using:

In 2025, I collaborated on “Consumed”, a live show at the Science Gallery Melbourne exploring themes of Distraction in the context of our present day relationship with technology, consumerism and social media culture.
