I’m Hafeed, a sound designer based in Leeds, UK. Storytelling has always been a big part of my life, and I’m so lucky to be able to speak this through sound. My journey started when I picked up the guitar at age 13, and I was blessed to follow my dreams. After my graduation with a computer science degree at the age of 19, I moved to another city to find a job in the arts. Luckily, I was hired by a local company as a boom operator, and then they trusted me enough to work on their projects’ post-production. I loved every minute of it as I was able to be free with trial and error.

With time, I grew remote relationships and started saving money. In 2022, I got hired by a video game studio as a composer and sound designer. I saved enough money to study in the UK, and I fell in love with the craft even more as I got an unpaid student internship at 344 Audio and worked on multiple games, including AAA titles, as a sound designer. I shipped my first game with the game studio this June while working on an indie adventure 3D game in my off time.
