Problem

A limited series needed one creative and technical bar across a 4-person engineering team, plus AI voice performance decisions that matched a producer's ambiguous creative direction — under daily delivery deadlines.

Solution

Directed a team of 4 engineers, owned ElevenLabs voice creation and performance decisions with the show's producer, writer/host, and EP, and translated notes like "it should sound like it's thinking, not reading" into concrete voice settings.

Results

Named an Audible Best Podcast of 2025 and nominated for The Ambies (Best Documentary Podcast) and The Podcast Academy (Best Podcast) in 2026 — with a client and producer who trusted the process without re-checking every pass.

Problem

An original series needed end-to-end production support: research, logistics, engineering, and music, with consistent Spotify-level mixes and efficient workflows.

Solution

Worked from concept to publication: recorded, edited, mixed, composed cues, and built repeatable templates and documentation for sessions, spotting, and delivery.

Results

Co-created and shipped the original series with broadcast-ready mixes and original music, demonstrating full-stack podcast production and scalable workflow design.

Problem

Archival and interview material needed heavy restoration and consistent mixes across a multi-episode series, under tight deadlines and exact Audible specs.

Solution

Owned the audio post pipeline. Designed QC checklists, an RX-driven dialogue chain, clean Pro Tools session structure, and a clearer producer review/revision system.

Results

Delivered broadcast-ready mixes to spec and helped the series earn a 2025 Webby nomination in Best Culture Podcast, while establishing repeatable studio standards.

Problem

Historical recordings for a museum exhibition needed restoration to be intelligible and accessible in a public space, without damaging authenticity or cultural context.

Solution

Applied advanced restoration and cleanup in Pro Tools, RX, Waves, and Accentize, collaborated with museum stakeholders, and tuned deliverables for exhibition playback constraints.

Results

Improved clarity and accessibility of archival audio for visitors while preserving the source character, supporting the exhibition's educational and cultural goals.

Problem

A narrative true-crime series needed consistent broadcast-quality audio and original music that supported emotional beats while staying within tight production constraints.

Solution

Handled dialogue restoration and sound design integration, composed the score, and managed revision cycles and documentation to keep the team aligned and compliant with platform specs.

Results

Delivered polished episodes with improved intelligibility and cohesive sonic identity, supporting story pacing and emotional impact from mix through final delivery.

Problem

A narrative documentary series required a distinctive sonic identity and heavy restoration of archival audio, while staying consistent across episodes and deadlines.

Solution

Composed original music, designed sound, restored archival material, and mixed in Pro Tools, RX, and Logic. Built repeatable approaches for continuity and QC.

Results

Delivered a cohesive, award-recognized series soundscape and broadcast-ready mixes — a NABJ Best Podcast 2025 winner — while preserving the authenticity of archival sources.

Problem

Podcast production needed an end-to-end operating system to manage concepting, scripting, guests, status tracking, revisions, and delivery without losing context or momentum.

Solution

Architected an integrated Notion system spanning the full lifecycle: relational databases, QC checkpoints, revision workflows, research repositories, and team coordination.

Results

Trained 15+ non-engineers to run the system independently, enabled clearer ownership and real-time visibility across the pipeline, and created a reusable framework for consistent, professional show delivery.

Problem

A growing design team had no structured intake, task routing, or review process, leading to bottlenecks, unclear priorities, and inconsistent delivery timelines.

Solution

Designed and deployed a Notion-based management system with brief templates, sprint workflows, review pipelines, and a capacity dashboard for transparent workload tracking.

Results

Enabled clearer ownership, reduced context-switching, and gave leadership real-time visibility into design output, velocity, and revision cycles.

Problem

Frontier AI audio models need production-grade tasks and rubrics written by someone who actually knows what broadcast-quality audio requires — and evaluators who can tell the difference between "close" and "right."

Solution

Author complex, multi-hour production briefs and grading rubrics across four DAWs, then audit peer-submitted tasks and model outputs against those same criteria — calibrating scoring standards across a distributed contributor pool.

Results

Completed 100+ discrete evaluation tasks, selected for an invite-only program, and trusted with elevated, end-to-end ownership of program quality — translating a decade of setting creative and technical bars for human teams into the standards now training AI ones.

10+ Years

Across 50+ episodes and 2M+ cumulative plays — Spotify, Audible, and KFF Health News.

15+ Trained

Non-engineers trained to run production systems independently — no me in the room.

5+ SOPs

Written across audio engineering, workflow design, and AI evaluation — standards other people run on.
