I've been fascinated by the power of sound since my parents bought me a Casio 32-key keyboard. My passion now extends far beyond fiddling with Pro Tools or debating the best vocal plugin - it's about the brilliance of my clients and how I can help their ideas resonate with audiences.As the founder and heart of Pinto Media, I've evolved from an audiophile into a skilled leader, project manager, and mentor. I manage operations, coordinate with contractors, and ensure that we always deliver on time and above expectations. Our perfect 5 star rating on Google speaks volumes about our commitment to quality and client satisfaction.My expertise in audio production is underpinned by several successful projects. For instance, I've been at the helm of the team producing the Outspoken podcast with Shana Cosgrove, now in its 6th season. Also, I've led a talented team on the popular and critically acclaimed sound-designed audiobook Dilla Time for Macmillan Audio. Notably, another audiobook we worked on, Yerba Buena, was nominated for an Audie Award.Beyond the technical aspects of audio production, I place significant importance on fostering a collaborative and empowering environment. By nurturing creativity, supporting continuous learning, and offering my industry knowledge, I aim to help my team grow and produce work that resonates with audiences.Looking ahead, I envision a career path with more leadership responsibilities, driven by my passion for nurturing talent, finding innovative solutions, and delivering top-tier audio experiences.Expertise: Pro Tools, Dialogue Editing, Dialogue Mastering, Music Mixing, Sound Production, Podcast Editing, Audiobook Editing, Story Editing, Storyboarding, Music Mastering, Audio Engineering, Podcast Strategy, Project Management, Team Leadership, and Client Relations.
