Sound Design ○ Music

  • Born at a very young age in Tallinn, Estonia. When I’m not making sound for films I’m probably making music.
  • In 2020, I graduated with an applied higher education degree in film from Baltic Film, Media and Arts School. One of the highlights was working on the short film “My Dear Corpses”, where I handled production sound and sound design. Excitingly, it won a Student Academy Award.
  • I’ve had my hands (and ears) on a variety of projects – from international short and feature films to documentaries, TV series, and animated films.
  • I make music as j u n a s. Yes, I love using the spacebar a lot.
