Chicago, I'm coming to your city in a week and will be talking about organizing in game worker unions alongside some wonderful @sagaftra.org comrades at Haymarket House! If you're around, I'd love to see you there.

It will also be streamed online if you're not able to make it in-person.

If I had one suggestion to those just starting in sound design, it would be to stay curious. Interrogate the world and objects around you. See what they have to say.

I talk a lot about mastering, metadata, mixing, & more, but a sense of play is the best thing we could possibly have in our toolkit.
