About me

I'm Ivan, an Italian Technical Sound Designer.

My work bridges artistic processes and technical workflows, with skills spanning audio design, implementation, custom plugin programming and workflow design. I love building audio systems that are both creative and functional, helping games sound as good as they feel to play.
When I’m not working on audio, I’m usually exploring the newest titles, playing the bass, or travelling.
