What is included in sound design?
Depending on the project, it can include creating or selecting sound effects, atmospheres and transitions, then shaping them to fit the picture.

Sound design for commercials and video
I create sound effects and atmospheres that strengthen the story, draw attention to key moments and give each project a distinctive sound.
Sound helps tell the story
Sound design is the considered creation and selection of sounds that support the picture—from subtle background atmosphere to a distinctive effect that highlights an action or product detail. The right sound helps viewers feel a scene and understand what matters.
Every choice is shaped around the picture, edit, audience and brand character. The aim is not to fill silence, but to create a clear and coherent listening experience.
When sound design makes a difference
Sound design is especially useful for commercials, animation, product videos, social content and presentations. It can highlight product details, clarify transitions, establish a setting or add impact to a key moment.
The scope is tailored to the project: from individual SFX to a complete sound environment or the finishing details of an already-edited video.
From picture review to final mix
We start by discussing the impression the picture should leave and the sounds it needs. I then create or select details for specific scenes, align them with the edit and review them in context.
The final step is to check the balance and deliver a coherent mix or separate tracks for further editing.

Frequently asked questions
Can you work with a video that has already been edited?
Yes. Sound can be designed around an existing edit and tailored to its individual scenes.
Does sound design include original music composition?
No. Original music composition is a separate service. If a project needs both, they can be planned as distinct parts of the production.
What files will I receive?
Delivery can include a final audio mix or separate tracks, depending on the project’s editing and handoff needs.
