About Oliver Smith

Freelance Sound Designer with over 7 years of experience creating immersive, high-impact audio for games. I’ve worked with studios worldwide—including Othergate, Wolcen Studio, and PitStop Productions—on award-nominated and best-selling titles across PC, console, and VR.

I work with developers who want sound to do more than just “sound good.” My focus is creating audio that enhances gameplay, strengthens player feedback, and integrates cleanly into real production pipelines. From responsive combat systems to environmental soundscapes, UI, and Cinematics, I design audio that feels like a natural part of the player experience.

My background started in music and synthesis, but I was drawn to the power of interactive audio—how sound shapes emotion, pacing, and player experience. That’s what continues to drive my work today.

I collaborate remotely with teams worldwide and am currently leading sound design and implementation for Reave, a dark fantasy VR title from Alta VR.
