I'm Samuel David Llano, an audio engineer, theatre sound designer and A1 with more than 10 years of experience working in sound and audio. My practice is centered on theatre, with an extensive track record across live production, broadcast, corporate AV, audio post and technical systems. I currently work with Sonolux Creative as an Associate Sound Designer while developing SD.Live across these fields.
My work sits between creative intention and real-time execution. As Production Stage Manager for V de Vinilo with Mediacoustix, I coordinated performers and technical teams, stage movement, cues and show flow, while supporting FOH and monitor workflows when needed.
At Magix Colombia I developed production-management, coordination and client-facing skills. Later, with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, I worked across Broadway- and West End-style entertainment, deepening my experience in high-performance audio and international production workflows.
As a dual national of Colombia and Spain, I bring a bilingual, international perspective to every project — combining technical precision, collaboration and a musician's ear.
