A Night of Revelations

When you work in a creative industry, you get to direct that creativity towards a specific goal. It means that you get to do what you are the very best in. It feeds you. But sometimes it can be hard to dig deep into that pool of creativity and harvest its power to meet goals. […]

Sound of Silly

When people ask what I do for a living precisely, I usually say I make sound effects for video games. That’s not the truth though, it’s a just convenient answer and not a lie. I do tech support.
