PSYCHOLOGY-DRIVEN SOUND DESIGN

I create tailored sounds for small to mid-sized game studios that predictably shape players' behavior.

About

It all started with imitating Yoshi as a kid. Who made that sound? How was it made?

I got my B.A. in Psychology and learned how to direct films before taking the sound courses that would change my career. One of those was a game audio class that made us study Breath of the Wild and the flawless Portal. There was no turning back.

Now, I use psychological sound design and implementation to guide players' experiences in games. My latest indie titles have been Airborne Empire, Tearoom of Terror, and Twinkleby. Thanks for stopping by and reach out when you're ready.

Testimonials

"As Audio Director, Sabrina brought the quality of Airborne Empire’s sound design to a level we were previously lacking. She found different areas of the game that would benefit considerably from unique sounds that she then produced with great attention to detail. Those sounds added depth and character to our virtual world which helped us establish Airborne Empire’s personality."

"Sabrina was a really great help getting Twinkleby over the finishing line. She's a really great combination of creative, technical, and proactive that made it really easy to give her areas of ownership without any worries. I genuinely recommend Sabrina for any project that requires care and attention to audio. You will be in great hands."

“Working with Sabrina on Tearoom of Terror really helped bring the game to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It was immediately apparent that she cared deeply about the sounds matching the dark, silly tone of this game in our discussions. Also, her understanding of implementation brought her sounds to an even higher level. It's amazing to have a sound designer who cares about the project as a whole and understands the project as a whole.”

"Sabrina is one of the most organized and professional freelancers I've ever worked with. She not only showed an impressive amount of care in how she conducted business, but also took a holistic approach to her craft to make sure there was a clear vision for the audio design for Lichgate. The planning and breakdowns she provided were top-notch and really stood out."
