I'm Sam. I've always enjoyed making things with sound, especially music. I'm interested in helping others realise their creative ideas, and in documenting projects and people I admire.
Professionally I've worked as a Audio Producer, Editor, Sound Designer, Script Writer, Coordinator, and Facilitator for organisations including The Kitchen Sisters, Resonance FM, Tate, The RSA, Blinkist, Maximum Rocknroll, Raw Material, and Clean Break. Sometimes I make videos too, including a few for Catchlight.
I've lived and worked in San Francisco, California, and London, England. The beauty of the Bay wins out for me. I'm really interested at the moment in neurodiveristy and the discourse around it, especially in relation to work.
Projects
