Sound Designer/Engineer
Brandon MilletBrandon began his sound design career at the Orange County School of the Arts and fell in love with sound design because his audio class was incredibly complicated and irritating and that somehow appealed to him. Now because of his experience in that class he spends his time being incredibly complicated and irritating and honestly we wish he’d stop talking about sound.
