Hello, my name is Benji Ruiz!
I am a junior sound designer with a passion for dynamic SFX and immersive soundscapes. With a degree from Vancouver Film School in Sound Design for Visual Media, I have contributed to numerous student games and indie projects, specializing in Fmod and Wwise implementation.
My experience includes sound editing for student films and professional mixing on sound stages, giving me a well-rounded understanding of sound design across different media. I am eager to collaborate on projects that push the boundaries of auditory experiences. Let’s create something unforgettable!
