Katharina Pfennich About

Sound Designer & Sound Artist

I am a sound designer and sound artist with a strong interest in immersive storytelling through sound. I studied Fine Art at Newcastle University before continuing with a Master’s degree in Sound Design at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK).

Growing up in an international environment, I have lived in Austria, France, the UK, Canada, and Switzerland, experiences that have shaped my sensitivity to place, atmosphere, and cultural context. Early on, I developed a deep interest in documenting, shaping, and transforming sonic environments. This exploration continues to define my practice today and inspires me to make immersive soundscapes for film and art exhibitions.
