Hi, I’m Theresa!
I’m a 26-year-old sound designer and musician based in Seattle, Washington.
My music/sound work can be heard on various podcasts, audio shows, and films. I have my own personal music and well as music with my pop/R&B band, SAPPHIRE CITY, and I currently work as a freelance sound editor and photographer.
I graduated from the University of Washington Seattle in 2020 where I studied Computer-Music under the mentorship of DXARTS Director and composer, Juan Pampin. I learned about Music Conrète, digital signal processing, mechatronics, and spatial composition using the Ambisonic Toolkit. From there I began my freelance career as a music producer and sound designer.
Two of my favorite things to create are stories and emotions through sound, whether that be in music or sound design. I believe that sound, because it is often an internal experience, has the potential to move hearts and bring out personal discoveries in a way that other art forms cannot. Most of all, I love the sense of curiosity, play and experimentation that comes with working in audio.
Here are some cool things I’ve done:
Was the lead sound designer for The Merry Beggars first major production, which became #3 in Fiction on Apple Podcasts in 2022 and 2023
Was the sound editor for Word on Fire’s audio-book version of “An Introduction to Prayer”
Was the youngest composer by 12 years to have work featured in the DXARTS Real and Imagined Worlds concert
Started a new pop/R&B band SAPPHIRE CITY
Composed music for my first video game in 2022
Gained over 4 million views making photography content TikTok
Gained over 1.2 million views making photography content on Instagram Reels
Started my first E-Commerce store creating and selling pixel art stickers
