My name is Valdemar Helander.

I’m a sound designer and composer based in Stockholm, Sweden. I grew up here in Stockholm, studying classical music from the age of 7, playing the piano and flute, but decided to widen my scope after high school. After trying different paths I stumbled upon sound design and game audio and instantly fell in love. Video games have always been a burning passion of mine and it felt only natural for me to combine my biggest interests; audio and games. After studying Sound Design at Bollnäs Folkhögskola for a year I was eager to find the next step in my newly found career, leading me to Skövde University. In Skövde everything fell into place and after three years of studying I had finished my bachelor’s degree, but still having that itch to learn more. After freelancing for about a year I finally decided to try out studying again and applied to a two year vocational course that really piqued my interest; Game Audio Producer and Sound Designer at Audio Production Academy in Stockholm, where I’m currently studying, finding my niche and style, but also meeting people and making valuable connections.

And that’s basically me, I love music and sound design, and I want to make awesome games sound awesome!
