who i am
Audio Lover. Creative Soul. Inspired Dreamer
I’m Anastasiia, a Ukrainian sound designer currently based in Melbourne, Australia. With over six years of experience in sound post-production, I began my career with commercials and Ukrainian TV shows, eventually contributing to Hollywood films - a milestone I’m particularly proud of.
My passion for sound design began when I saw ‘The Hobbit’ in IMAX 3D at 17. That experience sparked my interest in sound and set me on the path to becoming a sound designer. After several years working in the film industry, my enthusiasm for sound design was reignited when I played ‘Subnautica’. The game’s immersive audio inspired me to focus on creating soundscapes for games, where I could blend technical skill with creativity. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to enhancing storytelling and evoking emotions through audio in virtual worlds.
My curiosity drives me to explore all facets of audio, from game development and programming to the latest audio tools. I stay updated on trends and technologies by engaging with various resources, attending industry meetups, and following insightful blogs and podcasts. I'm always eager to learn, taking courses on implementation and game engines, experimenting with software updates in tools, and connecting with fellow developers. This dedication to ongoing growth keeps my work innovative and in tune with the ever-evolving world of game audio.
Hi there, and thanks for stopping by my digital space!
