Nikhil Gupta

I'm a sound designer based in Leeds, UK, with eight years of hands-on experience working with industry standard audio production tools like Ableton Live, Reaper and Pro Tools. Through academic projects, freelance work, and professional roles, I've developed a solid foundation in audio processing and post-production techniques. My expertise lies in Sound Design, Dialogue Editing, and Sound Mixing — skills I aim to use to craft immersive experiences that enhance storytelling and bring cinematic worlds to life.

With a strong passion for audio post-production, particularly in game sound design, I'm eager to apply my experience in a professional setting and contribute to exciting projects as part of a collaborative team.
