Sound shapes how your project feels. I design and implement interactive game audio and create custom sound effects for linear media, delivering immersive, intentional sound that supports gameplay and storytelling.
Let's make your project stand out through sound!
I edit, mix, and finalize audio for radio, TV, and online content, delivering clear dialogue, controlled dynamics, and mixes aligned with industry-standard loudness and broadcast requirements.
Clean, balanced audio that translates everywhere.

I implement sound for your game, either directly in the engine or through middleware.
Sound for video games is especially interesting because of the endless possibilities how it works interactively. You are not only thinking about what feels right when it comes to sound, but also how it functions in-game.

WHO's WESSEL?
Hi, my name is Wessel Smeekes. I am a sound designer from the Netherlands with a passion for making sounds that squeak, slam, hit, and blast fun or realism.
As a kid, I could not even clap on the beat, until I figured that I could create the beat myself. Take that, music teacher! Thanks to the beauty of old-school FL Studio, this is where the magic happened.
From then on I always had a knack for anything sound-related. Professionally, this started as a career in linear media, doing post-production at Gooi & Vecht Studio for TV commercials and programs, as well as radio and YouTube content. At the same time, I always dreamed of working in gaming, which led me to study Business of Esports in Finland, where I worked on live broadcasts, events, and more.
But sound kept calling. After another 2.5 years working in gaming marketing & content creation, I finally went full audio-mode and started freelancing.
Today, I work across game audio, sound design, and audio post-production, collaborating closely with teams to make projects sound intentional, responsive, and to tell the story through sound.
Keen to collaborate? I would be happy to chat!
