I finally have a new reel to share! I had a lot of fun making this one! I decided this time around I would only use games that I had actually played and really enjoyed playing! @NinjaTheory @sandfallgames @ubisoftquebec @compulsiongames @HazelightGames #gameaudio #sounddesign

I've been nominated for the Airwiggles Rising Star Award! 🎉Thank you so much to @itsgreglester, Lewis Thompson, and the rest of the airwiggles crew for the nomination! I was already looking forward to AirCon (aircon26.com) but now even more so!😁Good luck everyone!

I had such a great time at GDC again this year! I got to meet several people in person for the first time, made new friends, and reconnect with old friends. But as always the CAs are what make it so incredible! You'd be hard pressed to find a better group of people in the world!

My first official #ducksofgameaudio duck in his new home 😊

I can't believe it's been a year since Cabernet release! And also VAMPIRE CAT PLUSHIE!!! I'll take 12!!!

We made it through to the second round! 🎉🎉🎉 I can't decide if whoever is coming up with these prompts are geniuses or madmen😂 #sounddesignshowdown26

Round 1 is underway! I'm excited about what our team has come up with so far! @ComposerKirk @pshelleyaudio #sounddesignshowdown26

🎉RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!🎉 Blightstone is now out in early access! I've been doing sound design on this for the last 7 months and it has been a helluva good time!!!

So excited to team up with @ComposerKirk and @pshelleyaudio for this sound design competition! And thank you to #airwiggles for hosting again! #sounddesignshowdown26

I'm honored to have gotten to be a part of a game that ends up on a list like this! So exciting! 🎉🥰

@PIntroverts @elskwhite You guys! This is awesome!!!🎉

This one means a lot… When we set out to make Cabernet, it was so important to us to depict our characters’ authentic selves, filled with richness, love and life. We couldn’t be more proud. Special thanks to @elskwhite for so beautifully helping us bring many of them to life.

Blightstone will be part of the showcase organized by @gelius__ on Jan 5th. It’s the perfect way to gear up for our Early Access launch on Jan 20th. Don't miss the live stream on YouTube! Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2832280/Bl… #indiegame #gamedev

The struggle continues to be real 😖 #lifeofasounddesigner #gameaudio

👀👀👀 I'm excited to announce that I'm working with @salvation_poem on their upcoming game Clayfire! I can't share more than this sneak peek at some concept art at the moment but I'm very excited about this project!!! I'll share more when I can! #sfx #gameaudio #sounddesign

Such an incredible feeling to see Cabernet in print (!) in @TheEconomist 🖤

The struggle is real 😖 #lifeofasounddesigner #gameaudio

So excited!! 💜 Echoes of the Plum Grove is one of October’s featured indie games for @ID_Xbox !

Cabernet is currently a #5 most popular Visual Novel on Steam!.. 😮🦇

I have been working with @KarenaSings on her stage production of Pirates & Clerics & Rangers, oh my! I handled the SFX, mixing, and mastering and I must say it was a good time! And it's such a fun show! #sfx #sounddesign #theatre
