Sound Designer
-Player Package
-Characters & Creatures
-Cinematics - Design, surround mixing, and implementation

Metroid Prime Remastered - Retro Studios 2023

MPR was an interesting project; our design goal was to recreate the audio experience as fans “remembered” rather than doing a complete overhaul and re-design. I was tasked with updating every single sound in the game to high resolution files for a modern game console. We achieved our goal by updating, sweetening, and re-creating iconic sound design of the original. Additionally by implementing modern audio systems for ambience, reverbs, and dynamic mix. This all resulted in a polished audio experience, providing nostalgia for players of the original title and a soundscape that holds its own for a modern audience.

Worked with Gl33k in Austin. Audio implementation using Unity and Wwise. Sound designed enemy creatures, environments, player weapons. Built props and recorded foley.

Back when shreds videos were popular my friends and I decided to pull an all nighter to make this instead of doing homework. It’s still making the rounds on the internet to this day
