Sound Designer: Jacob Ribicoff

In this episode, we sit down with Sound Designer, Jacob Ribicoff, to explore the invisible craft of sound and how it shapes what we feel, even when we don’t realize it.

Jacob shares how he got his start, what sound designers actually do, and how sound can completely transform an image.
