ABOUT 

Nigel is an internationally recognised Sound Designer with over twenty years of experience. He holds a Master of Arts in Sound Design from the National Film & Television School (UK), and he is inspired by stories of the human spirit. He discovers his environment with an acute perception of sound, coloured by an intimate sense of the spiritual. He has an ability to listen beyond words and tune into layers of emotions because of a fascination and curious preoccupation with human behaviours, perspectives, habits, and thinking. Nigel sees and hears further than the obvious, enabling richer stories to tell. 

His work has been displayed at distinguished exhibitions and showcases worldwide: VICE Short List with Suroosh Alvi, Directors Notes, Watersprite Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, Stockholm Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Poitiers Film Festival, DMY International Design Festival (Berlin), Canadian International Film Festival, Shanghai Design Biennial, Asian Television Awards, Asia Image Apollo Awards, and Asia Pacific Awards.

This is in addition to the professional acknowledgement he has received from organisations such as the Audio Engineering Society, the American Federation of Musicians, Composers and Authors Society of Singapore, Universal and the Singapore Association of Motion Picture Professionals.

He has since earned a reputation for an exceptional ability to translate words and ideas into sound.
