Hi! I’m Can (pronounced “John”). I’m a game audio designer, currently based in Finland and working at Rovio/SEGA as a Lead Sound Designer.
I’m experienced with multiple game platforms and genres. I excel at managing artistic, tech, production and collaborative demands as a coherent whole. I strive for combining authentic sound design with responsive behavior and compelling narratives to create the best player experience possible.
Stay a while and listen! Check out what I’ve been up to lately on my blog, and feel free to get in touch. Thanks for visiting!

Testimonials
Can is an amazing sound designer. He was the sole sound designer on Horus Station and achieved what I feel is some of the best sound work I’ve heard. As we didn’t have dialogue he created an amazing ambiance that is constantly praised in all reviews. He’s very detailed and takes feedback well to create a fantastic quality of work. Hire him while you can!

Can was my lead at Rovio. He understood all the weight that came with the job. He was right there in the trenches, supporting the team, and showing us what was needed. Working with someone that is as skilled in audio as he is with communication was a real pleasure. He is also very adept with the technical side of things, which was a big help. I learned a lot from him, and he was the best teammate I’ve had.

It was a pleasure to work with Can –he worked very independently and efficiently, grasped quickly the idea and produced audio design that fit the Hello Ruby brand beautifully.
