Let there be
Sound!

Hi, I‘m Donatas Jarutis – a freelance Sound Designer, mainly specialising in game audio. I am a strong believer in narrative-driven sound design and experimenting with different ways of delivering immersion and functionality through audio implementation.

So, don’t be shy and let’s chat about your next project!

My Services

Audio Implementation

Creation of sound effect assets, ranging from ambiences and footsteps to vehicle engines.

Game audio mixing in Wwise, as well as mixing for linear projects (i.e., ads or film).

Here is an example of my sound design work for game cinematics. This time, I took on redesigning a scene from Unity's demo project The Blacksmith (2015).

About Me

I’ve been working in the audio industry for more than 10 years now. As for most Sound Designers, my love for audio started with music production. Later on, it branched out to engineering work for voice over recordings and sound design for advertisements.

Since 2020, I shifted my focus to game audio, earning my stripes in designing SFX assets and mastering implementation through Wwise middleware.

Needless to say, each project is different. Thus, I strive to learn something new with each job that I take on. Hope, the next one will be yours! ;)
