I'm a sound designer working on immersive and interactive projects: audio augmented reality (AAR), virtual reality (VR), games, installations, and live performances. In my works, the audience shares the feeling of presence, while illusion unveils elements of reality.

I'm also a musician and music educator. I have a diverse background in music, having played various instruments in multiple ensembles and projects, with experience in live audio and sound editing, and having worked as a lecturer in music and a teacher of sound engineering.
