About Boon Sim

I have 16 years of audio experience in video games and films, and I’ve been in game development leadership since 2010. I am deeply passionate about creating audio for games that both immerses the player and informs gameplay, and am constantly striving to grow as a sound designer, game developer, and leader. I’m collaborative, team focused, and detail oriented.
