Being Freelance

Sound Designer David Jeffers


Listen Later

In 2011, taking a family holiday from his job as a Ford engineer, changed David’s life forever. 
An accident on the beach left him paralysed from the chest down. Quadriplegic.

When David was ready to work again, an old friend remembered their shared love of music. He suggested David create audio tracks for the animated videos his company were creating. His freelance business ‘Quadriphonic Sound’ was about to make some serious noise.

Without the flexibility of being freelance, David wonders if he’d be able to work at all. Instead he’s making a name for himself on dream projects for huge brands, doing it all remotely around his health and family needs.
