About


🔊 Sound Designer | 🎼 Musician | 🎧 Audio Engineer | 🎹 Sample Library Developer | 🧙 Audio Wizard


Jackson Harris is a sound designer for video games, based in Alpharetta, Georgia. With a background as a multi-instrumentalist, performer, recordist, audio engineer, sample library & plugin dev, and sound designer, he brings a unique auditory experience to video game soundscapes.Jackson's approach to sound design incorporates organic samples and textures as a basis for each element in his workflow. Utilizing the idea of grounding sounds in reality allows for a more personal connection to the design process, which extends to the player when they experience this auditory enhancement in the game.
His upbringing in a creatively enhanced household, especially with a musical focus, helped shape his passion for music and sound, as well as his love for video games and their audio. He especially loves the challenge of emulating classic audio limitations of early consoles, with high levels of respect for the creative approaches that were used to design around such restrictions.
Jackson looks forward to working on projects that favor creativity, unique experiences, and highlight game audio's importance.He also really, really likes (snowy) owls and his cat, Luna.
