About me
It's not you, Lisbon. It's me.This could probably be the title for an upcoming Woody Allen film, but it's not. It's the story of my life.
I'm a sound designer/sound editor from Lisbon currently based in London, with 9 years of professional experience in both TV and film.
Coming from a music background originally, I enrolled in a sound engineering course which led me into the TV industry right away, after I graduated as one of the best students that year. I started as a sound assistant and boom operator in the major TV production park in Portugal, Valentim de Carvalho Studios, and after a few years climbed my way up to the dubbing department.
In my early years working in sound for motion picture, I realised that sound design was taking a special place in my life and the pleasure I got from it was no less rewarding from the one I had while making music. This was the trigger for me to take a step further and team up with a colleague of mine to get our own post production studio. That way I could be more focused on improving my sound design skills and explore my natural creativity through sound. And so dtale was born.
The past 3 years have been both incredible and demanding with lots of new challenges, amazing work partnerships and an unexpected divorce from sleeping every night. But that wouldn't be the only breakup I had coming as in the end of January I left the undeniably beautiful Lisbon and moved to the massively astonishing London to pursue even bigger challenges in a much more broad and competitive industry. After 9 years working in my home town this seemed the right path to take since there's no better place to be if I want to reach a whole new level when it comes to professional achievements.
