Testimonials

I worked with Kristi for 3+ years as Mountaintop’s Audio Lead. Kristi has a great ear for audio, a clear sense of what is needed to bring a good fullness to the experience (shooters) without crowding essential gameplay and map cues, and mastery of a diverse range of technology needed to get great results. I worked a lot with Kristi on VO to select voice actors, and appreciated the artistry and nuance she brought to design. Kristi worked extremely well with outsourcing partners, and was well liked by the team. Kristi also recommended music and gave critical feedback and direction to picking pieces. I was really happy with Kristi’s many and varied contributions to Spectre Divide and enjoyed the opportunity to work directly with her.
— Mark Terrano - Design Director & Founder at Mountaintop Studios
Kristi is inventive, energetic, ambitious and a true creative spirit. A versatile contributor, always ready to step in where needed, she covered everything from foley and field recording, to sound design, implementation, asset tracking, vendor scheduling and support. Fun to work with, a great communicator and an asset to any team
— Jerry Berlongieri - Audio Director
I’m very pleased to write a recommendation for Kristi! Not only is she a key player on our team, but her positive attitude and great sense of humor also contributed to an awesome workplace. Kristi’s skills and leadership qualities are a benefit to any team. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again.
— Tricia Stokes - Lead Environment Artist
Kristi puts everything into her work and it shows! Her can-do, service-minded approach to sound makes her a pleasure to work with - and her creativity and passion do the rest. I still hear her work in Bash Party whenever we play it - and it always makes me smile. Attention to detail, fantastic work ethic... she will rock your world!
— Robin Hunicke - Co-Founder Funomena
Working with Kristi is an absolute joy, even from across the country! Kristi is extremely professional and independent with her audio work, managing to seamlessly integrate with the team. As the Producer, I can always count on Kristi to know which sounds or music is needed for any given area of the game, and to understand what tasks are required within a given time. The audio quality is always dead-on and she is able to implement the custom sounds she creates into the game on her own. She even goes above and beyond what is asked, like when she established a gibberish language for Where Cards Fall. We are so lucky to have Kristi on the team!
— Ivona Edry - Producer
Kristi takes both creative and logistical assignments and brings back the type results only possible in someone with true passion and a team oriented perspective. On a recent project I turned to Kristi to deliver loads of oohey gooey gore foley sound sync’d to picture for a comedy horror film. This adventure into disgusting yet comical goop required a high degree of organization, creative thinking, nuance, technical know-how and hard work. All of which was completely invisible to me...all I got was great sound, well cut and ready to mix. On top of all this is a fun and energetic personality that seems to help push everything she’s involve with in positive directions. I always look forward to working with Kristi and highly recommend her
