Hey, I’m Dan!
A generalist video game sound designer based in Bristol, UK. Thanks for checking out my work!
Originally from Nottingham, UK. I’m a passionate about the experimental side of interactive audio. During my studies at Bath Spa University, I specialised in game audio and graduated in 2023 with a first-class honours.
Since then, I’ve worked with, Team FOLON as a sound designer and dialogue editor for Fallout: London, and Vesper, where I led the interactive sound design and bespoke audio systems on an unreleased project. Most recently, I’ve been exploring the recording and implementation of full sphere surround formats and collaborating with Pawsmonaut Games on the audio direction for their upcoming game Aethus.
In my spare time I love live streaming, playing D&D, painting my Necron army, going on adventures around the country and exploring my new found interest in astronomy.
