Garth loves working with clients to understand their needs and respond with designs of functional, easy-to-operate audio-visual systems that can support clients immediately and grow with them into the future. With over 30 years of experience as a theatrical sound designer and composer, as an engineer, and as a consultant, Garth has a deep understanding of how integrated systems can support multiple programs and a variety of space types. He has designed performance audio and video, immersive audio and video, recording, broadcasting, live streaming, conferencing, control and digital signage systems for a wide range of clients.
