Georgia Fullalove

Georgia started with us at HQ as an assistant and now works on all our studio sessions and internal projects here at the studio. She loves to play guitar, and enjoys her work outside of the studio in Audio Post-Production and Sound Design for Film and TV. 

Georgia is very friendly, and strives to work on projects across all genres of music. As a self-confessed Pro Tools wizard, she’s who to turn to for when you forget all of those really useful keyboard-shortcuts.
