Biography
Hello! My name is William N. Lowe and I am a sound designer from Washington, DC. I graduated with a BFA in Drama: Sound Design from Carnegie Mellon University in 2020, but have embraced the changing world to re-direct my passion for sound and technology to the video game industry. When I am not working in the world of sound, I am tinkering with electronics, talking about public transit, or following baseball, football, and hockey. I am currently on a path to see a baseball game at all 30 active major league ballparks and have successfully made it to 21 so far.
