My work spans film, television, gaming, ads, and entertainment marketing, where I specialize in developing music strategies that balance creative vision, emotional impact, and audience engagement.

I'm always open to collaborations with filmmakers, agencies, and artists.

The work BEHIND the work
Exit 8 | Trailer | Custom Music
This trailer served as the final marketing push for a low-budget Japanese foreign film, with the challenge of making the concept feel urgent and accessible to American audiences. Because the story centered around a specific subway exit, I used subway announcements, gate numbers, and transit sound design as a structural device to drive the edit forward. As the numbers and announcements gradually devolved into chaos, the visuals escalated alongside them, reinforcing the film’s tension and psychological descent. Using familiar transit sounds in an increasingly distorted way helped create subconscious tension, reinforcing the audience’s sense of confusion and unease without relying on traditional horror scoring. The trailer’s unconventional sound-driven approach earned recognition with six award nominations, including Best Horror, Best Foreign Thriller, Most Original, and Best Independent Trailer (Low Budget).
Creative takeaway: Familiar environmental sounds can be repurposed to build tension and reinforce narrative themes
Ad Astra | Trailer | Custom Music
This graphics-driven piece was built with a simple directive: create something visually and sonically unforgettable for a broad younger audience. Working within a limited budget, I commissioned musical artist Blood Orange to custom score the trailer, leaning into his signature experimental and sci-fi-inspired sound. To push the concept further, the piece incorporated real sound design elements sourced from NASA, including recordings inspired by asteroid collisions, Saturn’s rings, black hole rumbles, and magnetic field pulses. Combined with the slow-burning orchestration, the result was a sonically distinctive campaign that elevated the trailer’s world-building and helped separate it from traditional sci-fi marketing.
Creative takeaway: Sound design can become a storytelling device when treated as part of the emotional structure of the trailer.
Dark Matter | Trailer | Pitched Music & Customization
The song used in this campaign was an intentional choice because of lyrical relevance and tonal contrast. The vintage recording already carries this haunting dreamlike quality that felt both romantic and emotionally tense without relying on traditional scoring. The customization of the track focussed on enhancing its existing atmosphere and shaping moments around the dialogue and pacing. The contrast between the innocent of the original recording and the darker visuals helped support the emotional instability of the story while giving the campaign a unique identity. The track remained intact from V1 through 42 rounds of revisions and was later added to the series soundtrack itself.
Creative takeaway: Using a vintage track with direct lyrical relevance helped ground a high-concept sci-fi story in recognizable human emotion, making the campaign feel more intimate and emotionally accessible.
