Programming
Some basic C# programming enables me to implement sounds into the game environment as well as being able to test and troubleshoot middleware for flawless integration.
Engineering
10 years mechanical trade experience means I’m always looking at how things work. I incorporate that knowledge and experience into my sound design.
Design
Sound design that combines context, interpretation, and x-factor. User experience and technical implementation play a large role in how sounds should be designed.

D'wayne Murray
Sound Designer
I’m a technical sound designer with a fascination for engineering and creative problem-solving. Born in Australian, I made the made the life-changing decision to move to Canada in 2018. I’ve always loved music and that passion guided me towards a career in sound.
In Canada I studied Sound Design for Visual Media and graduated with honours from the prestigious Vancouver Film School.
While studying I realised I enjoyed the technical side of audio implementation, which brought my sound design to life in film, television, and video games.
During my time at VFS I found that I really enjoyed helping to drive the narrative with the use of sound, with Sound Effects editing. The challenge of finding good takes from the production sound and building a selection of options for the Re-Recording mixer when learning dialogue editing.
With decades of professional experience working in a high-pressure environment to exacting client standards, I have a proven track record of resilience, adaptability, and getting the job done. I graduated with honors from the prestigious Vancouver Film School, and I’m bringing that stellar work ethic and cutting edge knowledge to sound design.
