Juan Diego Borda
"I should be able to see it all with my ears”. This is the mantra I repeat myself when I approach any sound design project I take in my hands. My name is Juan Borda. I was born in Colombia, South America. I attended the Sound Engineering program at UCLA and after graduation I worked for several important L.A. based Audio-Post facilities.
I’ve worked with countless important brands, but besides the credit, my commitment is with the quality of the sound. My permanent goal is to be able to “paint a picture" for the listener by only using sound elements, to tell a story, and that's why my philosophy is about "seeing with your ears”.
My strongest ability is to have a comprehensive vision of what a determined piece of media needs. To conceptualize, execute and visualize the type of sounds, music and acoustic elements each piece needs in order to deliver the intended message.
I hope you enjoy touring my website, please see my WORK.
