Hi, I'm Orrin, currently working as a freelance sound designer after graduating university with a first-class honours, where I studied Music and Sound Design. After starting my journey into audio by producing electronic music and learning bass guitar at 14, I soon realised that what really captivated me in my favourite pieces of media was the sound design, which eventually led me to game audio. I love exploring as many different faucets of audio as possible, and creating educational YouTube videos to teach others about sound design- I was even commissioned to make the jingle for my college radio station! My goal is to work in-house at a large studio one day.View my CV here.
