A NOTE FROM TOM
Over 20 years ago I started designing sound for theatre shows. I completed a BTEC in Moving Image Design and Radio Production at Warwickshire College. I then earned my honorary BA in Theatre Sound at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
Over the years I have been lucky to work on a large variety of award-winning projects spanning many disciplines. Sound is a massively important way for how we experience the world, and I’m proud to share the highlights of my work on this site.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to discuss working together.
