BIOGRAPHY:

I specialise in immersive, highly detailed sound design work for theatre and live arts. For over eight years I was Head of Sound for the National Theatre of Scotland, designing shows both for and outwith the company. My Work page details current, recent and past productions.

I am a member of the Association of Sound Designers.

Besides creative sound design, I also provide technical design services and advice for theatre productions, live events and installations of all sizes.
