Michelle Hwu

Michelle Hwu is a Toronto-based sound designer and audio director with over a decade of experience across AAA games, indie development, and post-production. Her credits include Watch Dogs: Legion at Ubisoft Toronto, Lead Audio Designer on a Devolver Digital title, Audio Director on Ambrosia Sky (Soft Rains Games), and a 2025 Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Sound Editing on In a Violent Nature.
Her work spans sound design, Foley, dialogue editing, implementation, and leading audio from initial vision through final delivery, including system design, implementation, and team direction. She brings an unusual perspective to games audio: a background in orchestral percussion performance, including with the Toronto Symphony and YouTube Symphony Orchestra, that continues to shape how she thinks about timing, layering, and space in interactive sound.
