SOUND IS
HALF THE
PICTURE.

Audio engineering is invisible work — when it is done right, nobody notices it. From removing noise floors and taming reverb to EQ shaping and mastering for final delivery, I approach audio with the same intentionality I bring to the image. Below is a breakdown of that process, followed by two podcast projects I produced, engineered, and co-hosted.

The audience never hears the work.
They only feel the difference
when it's missing.

Color = Loudness Dark blue = silence, red = loud.
Speech Band Human voice ~80Hz-8kHz. Bright vertical columns = louder moments.
Time Each vertical slice = one moment in the recording.
Noise Floor Baseline hum present when no signal is playing --
visible as a consistent low-level color in the silent gaps.
Intensity -inf 0 dB
RAW Original, unaltered audio. Noise floor visible as a persistent low-level hum across all frequencies.
