A Lil About Me
I found my passion of sound design and music back when when I found 3 things: Animusic, a midi keyboard, and Audacity.
Where did that go? Well I was only 8, so it stayed a passion...
Until 2017, when, by grace, I began officially honing those skills. I've since been on several projects for sound design, music, and more.Personally, I am a Christ follower and an enthusiastic Brony! I love both my God and this fandom, and aspire to help people in their projects however I can.
Personal Mission Statement
I have been blessed by God with the skills I have, not to horde them, but to give them generously and freely to others as He gave them to me! I want to be a help to others in the ways I can best, sharing my knowledge, skill, and talents. I dont wish to seek fame or attention, nor am I in it for the money. I am doing this because I love to do it, and I love helping people, so why not do both?
What can I do for ya?
I offer multiple services, both paid and free, to help you with your project!
Sound Design

Whether it be for a game, animation, or short film, I got you covered! I can do vocal mixing/cleanup, environment sound, Foley, and more. If you want something but don't know if I can do it, ask! I don't bite... yet.

Free!
What?! Free sounds?! That's right folks!
These packs include remade horse magic, hoof sounds with surface variations, pony-crowd sounds, and even a pink horse bounce, remade and licensed for CC-BY!
These sounds are provided as is out of my love for this fandom and my want to help others create awesome-sounding productions!
A note on payment: As my mission statement said, I am not in this for the money. However, these things take much time and resources, and payment helps ease those burdens. I ask that, when negotiation time comes (for all prices are negotiable), that you seriously consider the love and dedication put in it, and be as generous as I am generous to you❤
1 I am willing to learn and emulate as needed, however I cannot guarantee I can make what you wish. I adjure you to check my music portfolio and archives to see what I've made in the past

Sound Design!
I've been doing amateur sound design for 6+ years now! My greatest strength is environment-emulation through elements of Foley and field recording, but I can also do synthetic/stylized design and vocal processing. Check out some examples below!
Missing Out
I did both sound design and vocal processing in this one! Lot's of foley work and field recording, with a nice sprinkling of outsourced sounds
Ante Up
Sound design, vocal processing, and music all done here to build a simple yet atmospheric spooky video!
Alicorn Copout
A short with simple vocal processing, sound design, and custom magic sound effects.
Dimensional Shift
Developed in FMOD, these sounds are dynamic programmable game sounds for "Dimensional Shift" by Valiant Studios.
Homestead
Similarly made in FMOD, these dynamic sounds are for another project, Homestead, by Heart Song Games.
My Music!
Here's a small sample of my music! My style tends to be a mixture of electronica and orchestral...

Music Reel - 2022
Here is a general collection/summary of my musical works. Some of these pieces are unpublished, many are. Some are personal, and others are for projects.
The Grand Opening - Valiant Studios
Written for Valiant Studios' Update 2, this is one of my more recent songs.
Where the Magic Happens - Cover
A small snippet I made after inspired by MLP:FiM's final song. This is probably my most 'orchestral' piece next to You're So Beautiful...
A song inspired by God for the encouragement of a friend of mine! In my personal opinion, some of the best work here! There is a fully lyrical version over on my Bandcamp if you'd like!
You're So Beautiful - Instrumental
'more happy music' - Sketch
This was a little sketch I did for fun! Not much work put into it, just a little happy, looping tune! Made with Native Instrument's Kontakt plugins.
A small remix I did of "Rules of Rarity" by Daniel Ingram. This one actually has a small animation in the works, which you can see on my youtube!
Rules of Rarity - Saphire's Mix
Tick Tock - Instrumental
A small instrumental I made, originally having a few lyrics. This was made mostly with FL Studio's native plugins, and Edirol for any orchestral bits.
Try and figure out what this piece of music is ^:)
Ukelele.wav
There's nothing here yet because I haven't gotten around to it.
Have a Lacy! (dont click her though!)
I also do video editing! Here is what I feel is the best example...
A Lil' side note...
If I sent this to ya, it's because I care about ya and want you to know this!
My Neurodivergence
I am diagnosed with ADHD and High-Functioning Autism, otherwise known as "Neurodivergence" in the modern lingo!
This gives me some cool superpowers, but also some limitations, and these affect both how I work and how I interact socially.
Take a look down below!
Superpowers
I can do a day's worth of work in a few hours when in a hyperfocused flow state
I can easily see big pictures when able to look at all the facts
I can quickly form plans and test them in my mind
I'm great at pattern recognition
I can quickly learn new skills if I urgently need to
I am willing and able to take calculated risks others wouldn't take (like starting a business)
I can strongly visualize things in detail
Limitations
I lack object permanence, so I can forget to drink, eat, or talk to someone if it's not in front of me
My mind works on Urgency, not Priority, so it's best to set deadlines with me
Do not tell me a list of more than 2 things and expect me to remember them all
I can only hyperfocus on that which interests me (which is the stuff I take commissions for)
I'm easily distracted by sidequests
I have a short-term memory if it's a casual thing to remember
Social Affects
I can function pretty normally in social situations... mostly! I have a social battery, and once it runs out, I need to go alone and recharge.
At the same time, due to my partial lack of object permanence, I may genuinely forget to talk to my friends! This isn't because I don't care but, to my mind, if something isn't in front of me it doesn't exist! So it's best if you message me regularly if you want to keep in touch! Just make them short messages, because for some reason my brain doesn't like huge blocks of text and gets all anxious!On an even more very personal note, at the time of writing this, I struggle with PTSD from childhood trauma, which combined with my autism and ADHD causes "executive dysfunction". This means it can be very hard for me to even do basic things at times, and it's prevented me from working on projects like Daily Dose of Pony or Pony Voice Index as I've desired to. I'm working to fix this in therapy though :3
These are all things I've finally come to understand about myself recently, which is why I'm telling you!
