Audio + Podcast Production

Producing podcasts, radio documentaries and creative audio pieces with a dedication for true-to-life storytelling and resonant sound design.

A graduate of the 2024 Multitrack Audio Producers Fellowship but otherwise self-taught, I produce audio with attention to the medium’s possibilities – as a narrative form that can be as evocative as informative, where sonic elements become metaphors for the ears, and variations in vocal tone convey emotional nuances otherwise missed in writing.

My work has been broadcast by BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4, distributed on mainstream podcast streaming platforms, and installed publicly at Autograph Gallery, Brixton House, the Museum of the Home and Windrush Square. Alongside this portfolio, as an independent producer, my original podcast documentary series Windows is ongoing, and was nominated in the 2025 Audio Production Awards’ Sound Design category.

In parallel, following my training as a historian, I work with community and oral history-based initiatives, integrating audio production into my research and storytelling processes. By handling audio materials within archives and by listening to community members’ recollections, I produce sound works that not only educate, but represent collective histories as sensory, speculative experiences – capable of transcending audiences’ limits to imagination and empathy.

Please get in contact if you have a podcast or cultural programme in need of producing or editing.
