Hey, I'm Harlow!
I'm a recent grad of Sheridan's Bachelor of Film and Television program with a Major in Sound.
I have previous experience in post production sound on various projects, and in podcast editing for Sonar Network. I've worked on location, in the mixing room, and understand what sound needs to be successful. My passion lies in storytelling through thoughtful and unique sound design.
