Bio
Ashton Andersen
David is one of the most well-rounded audio designers we've ever had on our team. I can come to him with virtually anything related to audio and he will be able to help, whether it is adding an extra layer of detail to a trailer, or bringing a game environment to life. David also responds to critique very well, which is exactly what you want out of any professional. He is incredibly passionate about his work, and will continue to work and tweak his current project until he gets it right. We always get the most out of David, top notch work every time he does a project with us. He is very dedicated to his work, it becomes evident even before you begin working with him. David also has an amazing ability to self manage himself, we never have to bug him to stay on task. In other words, he's everything we could possibly ask for in an audio designer. We expect him to go far in any industry he lends his hand to.

David is a very versatile and "can do" sound design guy, and I've been happy to work with him on our project. When our external sound contractor fell through, David was able to pick up the pieces and match the existing style while creating new content. I would be happy to work with David on any sound or music project.
