About Me
Hi! My name is Sam Macleay, and I am an audio engineer, sound designer, and A/V technician based out of the San Francisco Bay Area.
I’ve spent the last few years exploring audio in every capacity I’ve been able to - whether it has been mixing livestreams, recording and mixing music, post-production for film and television, and much more. I’ve worked with teams with proven track records in creating quality content, and consider myself lucky to have been able to contribute.
Outside of work you’ll usually find me gaming or reading. Some of my all time favorites are the Halo Series, Fallout, Dark Souls 1, and The Elder Scrolls.
