Benjamin Halliday
Music Producer & Sound Engineer
Benjamin has been writing, recording and producing music for about 15 years. His main preoccupation is music production and sampling, and he likes to experiment with audio textures and incorporates them into his projects.
He plays a few instruments, but mostly composes using a combination of the Reaper DAW with Maschine and Arturia virtual instruments. He is currently creating ambient audio stories and experimenting with binaural composition. For him, it’s a very exciting time to be an audio and music nerd.
When he’s not playing rockabilly songs on his guitar, Benjamin writes children stories and tends his vegetable garden. He spends some sunny afternoons in one of Portugal’s beaches, listening to the chorus of seagulls accompanied with the sound of waves from the Atlantic.
Julienne Mumar
Web Developer
Julienne has been building websites for over 15 years, and her love of blogging naturally led her to specialize in WordPress. The ability to blend logic with creativity is what fuels her passion for web development.
After college, she spent time working as a proofreader—a brief but valuable experience that would prove useful to her web work, especially when it comes to managing magazine-style sites.
A creative at heart, Julienne has explored crochet pattern design and photography, shooting weddings for family and friends as well as other projects. Today, she’s rediscovering her love for drawing—a longtime hobby set aside with the rise of social media—by diving into vector illustration.
