BIO
Personal Profile
Cartoons played a big part of my childhood and inspired me to become a sound designer. The idea to create a 2 dimensional character's life and voice through sound, while imagining worlds that felt very real but at the same time interactive. As a kid born in 1991 I was exposed to many creative animation proposals at the time from different companies including Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney Renaissance Period, early Dreamworks and so on. Later, my passion for video games started when I first played The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time and Yoshi's Story, which later translated into my interest for PC games in my early 20s including Bioshock 1 & 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution , and Mass Effect 2 & 3 as my favorite games.
All these beautiful creations made me curious and fond of imagining sound that could entail a great story. As an adult I continue to consume animations including much more mature content such as Adult Swim, and lately I have been deeply inspired by Anime in the last 8 years. The way the sounds are chosen and when they are shown a really makes me want to take on sound design challenges for Japanese animations as part of my personal portfolio.
I decided to take sound as a professional career when I enrolled my Bachelors Science Degree in Music Production Engineer from Tec de Monterrey in Mexico and successfully graduated in 2018. I am now a former graduate from the Sound Design for Visual Media Program at Vancouver Film School, that helped my solidify my audio software skills to help me achieve better technical skills as well as develop a much more creative mind.
