(Indie Game Score)
Strawhart is an action-puzzler where you’ll master physics-defying magic in a quest to start a cult and resurrect an ancient evil. The realm of Acre is beset by a foe so powerful that no hero living can hope to save the day. But don’t worry, you’ve got a plan!
I wrote and produced the soundtrack for the game and scored the trailer.
Table Stakes

African American writers Joe Thompson and Chris Adams of Fracture Comics pursue their dreams in a manga comic book industry accustomed to white and Asian artists. More Info

Sputnik

This film about discovery was used for the 2018 Berlin International Film Scoring Competition. All music and sound was produced by me as an entry.
American Babylon
(Short Film Cue)
This cue was scored in collaboration with filmmakers from SFFILM and recorded with live musicians at Skywalker Sound.
Themes from "Headwinds"
Headwinds is a fictional game inspired by the plot of The Martian. These themes were composed and recorded in collaboration with Sony Interactive during my time at San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Stems and scores were prepped by me for recording by live musicians. Both themes were selected from among student work for live recording at Sony Interactive.

Game Sound
Re-designs
These two videos, gameplay from Portal 2 and Fear, were created for educational purposes only. All sound in the videos was produced by me (these are mock-ups only, not implemented sound).
Mobile AR & Games
As part of my work as a sound designer at Facebook, I created and implemented sound and music for Augmented Reality camera effects and mini-games. All audio and technical implementation of sounds in these videos was done by me. Note: audio is mastered for mobile and may be quieter than the rest of the work on this page.
