Game Audio
Sound Designer for 34Big Things (December 2024 – April 2025)
My work for 34BigThings as a freelance outsourcer was a natural progression after completing my bachelor’s degree in Sound Design. During this time, my primary tasks involved creating UI sound effects and in-game sound effects and implementing them using Wwise.
This period marked my first experience working primarily independently, using my own workflow while still adhering to deadlines, design principles, and project-wide mix standardization.
Sound Designer Internship at 34Big Things (April 2024 – August 2024)
My internship with 34Big Things was spent as an integral part of the audio team, where I learned the team’s production pipeline and designed various sound effects for integration into the project at that time. I also communicated with several other teams, developing vital cross-team communication skills on a large-scale project.
The pipeline included the production of SFX following the project’s design principles, Wwise integration with project-wide loudness standardization, and collaboration using repositories—all completed within deadlines.
The internship was extremely valuable for gaining experience working on a large team, with significant improvements to my workflows, routines, and skill sets.
