Is to become one of the greatest sound designers / composers of this age not to seem over
optimistic but why not, I have the passion I have the skills to start of and im determined to get
what I want.
Obviously willing to work at the bottom and work up goes without saying, as I have not attained
a job in this area to get the necessary real time experience to jump into a higher ranked job,
but if I was I would give it a go for sure.
I have just finished a Visual Communication course ( New Media ) aimed at diversifying my skills
in audio creation but enabling sound in programs like Adobe Flash and Adobe Dreamweaver, also
on Video editing software such as Final Cut.
I am now in Abertay University doing my Honours project and grabbing any chance I can to make
exciting games, develope new ideas and have a lot of fun.
My list of skills grows quite long now but primary to audio they are, PC and Mac Proficiency in Pro
Tools, Cubase, Sound Forge, Audacity, Reason, Sequel, Csound. Other Skills include Proficiency in
(CS3) Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator and Photoshop as well as Word 07 and still growing.
Profficiency at outdoor and indoor recording, creative thinking and applied solutions to every task
I do. I can work in a team or on my own extremely well and I can discuss my ideas and listen to
others with ease and able to give helpful insights and criticism most recently applied to the latest
game project I worked with.
These are all non paid experience works;

And also recording and playing in a band for 2 years as a drummer.
Also I have been playing Games ever since I got an Atari with my dad when I was but 4 years old

I like to philosiphise and Invent and often write down movie plots which can lead onto to game
ideas, which I did put one in the Dare to Be Digital Competition this year 2009. I also like to write
music, playing my keyboard and listen out for unique sounds when i'm out and about.
I also like to game go cycling, running, hill walking, sailing, basketball, swimming, and compete
in competetions and gain any new skills I can like the duke of edinburgh, Dare to Be Digital both
parts, and some sports and gaming with my friends.
And to relax I like to listen to the world breathe :)
