Zhe Wu is a freelance Sound Designer / Editor and Re-recording mixer.

She received a Best Sound nomination from the British Animation Awards (BAA) and two Golden Reel Awards' Verna Fields nominations from the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) in Los Angeles.

When starting a project, her first aim is to try and "hear" the director's vision (the final mix) in her head. With her creative and technical mastery of sound post-production, she then tries to develop this vision to the full, doing a lot of experiments and original recordings during the tracklay.

Zhe always tries to practice the principle: ‘whatever the smallest thing you do, always do it to the extreme with your best effort.’ She believes this is the reason for the high standard of work she produces.

She delivers her passion for sound in a very calm, patient and organised way of working. This enables an open, relaxed and enjoyable work atmosphere for her clients.
