My fascination with sound production began when I was studying to become a journalist (2018-2020). Here I started producing sound universes for kids. This led me to Story House Egmont (Talk Town KIDS) where I was involved in the production of several podcast series, working on elements such as idea and conceptualizing, manuscripts, sound universes as well as complete podcasts episodes.
