About Me
I turn ideas into sound that feels intentional, immersive, and built to connect. From mixing & mastering and professional podcast editing to music production and audio for video, I shape raw recordings into clear, emotionally engaging experiences.
I believe great audio isn’t just polished — it tells a story, builds trust, and keeps people listening. Every detail serves a purpose. Every project is crafted to sound exactly the way it should.

Retro-Futurist Sound Design for Recruitment Commercials
Architectural sound design for a recruitment commercial inspired by 1960s NASA technical films and Saul Bass title sequences.
The sonic language was strictly non-musical — built from mechanical gestures, analog-inspired electronic tones, ambient textures, and strategic silence. Typewriter clicks, relay switches, projector snaps, sine-wave beeps, sub-bass hum, and tape hiss formed a restrained, purposeful composition synced frame-accurately to motion graphics.
Final mixes were delivered broadcast-ready and aired nationally in the United States during prime-time television.
End-to-End Podcast Production & Marketing
The Modern Operator — Lilac Labs
Led full production and content strategy for 40+ episodes of The Modern Operator, a podcast created to drive lead generation for San Francisco–based food tech startup Lilac Labs.
Scope included managing weekly Riverside recordings, full audio and video editing, motion graphics, music integration, thumbnail design, title optimization, and SEO-focused episode descriptions. Beyond production, a structured social media strategy was developed to repurpose long-form episodes into short-form content and targeted marketing assets.
The result: a consistent, branded podcast presence positioned as a thought-leadership tool within a competitive industry.
Panda Lassow - New Beginning
Mixing for the 6-track EP New Beginning, marking a bold shift in Panda Lassow’s sonic direction. The project blends African rhythmic influences — including Angolan Kuduro, South African Gqom, and Amapiano — with her roots in techno and electronic music.
The mixes focused on preserving the weight and groove of the polyrhythmic structures while creating clarity, depth, and space between dense percussive layers and electronic textures. Emphasis was placed on movement, low-end control, and maintaining the raw energy of the production.

Success Formula Podcast
Complete audio and video post-production for the Success Formula Podcast, refining long-form conversations into clear, professional, platform-ready episodes.
Dialogue cleanup and restoration were handled in iZotope RX, ensuring clarity and consistency before mix and master. Episodes were assembled through multi-camera editing in DaVinci Resolve, with integrated intro and outro segments, mid-roll ad insertion, and precise color correction for a cohesive visual tone. Final masters were delivered broadcast-ready for seamless distribution.
Each episode balanced technical precision with a natural, engaging listening experience.
Dawn Brothers - Late To The Party
Recorded, and engineered at Studio Helmbreker in Haarlem. Released as an exclusive Record Store Day 2024 pressing on the renowned Dutch label Excelsior Records.
The session was tracked live in a single room to capture energy and interaction, with subtle overdubs added for depth and character. Recorded through an API console and a carefully selected chain of high-end outboard gear and vintage microphones, the process focused on warmth, texture, and honest performance.

Proudly Trusted By
Tim is extremely organized, punctual, and proactive in communication. He managed deadlines flawlessly and kept the project moving without ever needing to be chased. His production skills are top notch, but what really stood out was his ability to think strategically. He understood the “why” behind what we were doing, which made his contributions even more valuable.
He is also adaptable and collaborative. We learned together throughout the process, and he never hesitated to put in extra effort to make sure the final result was something we could both be proud of. His attention to detail, creative instincts, and professionalism make him a rare find. I cannot recommend Tim highly enough and am genuinely excited to work with him again on future projects.
