As a sound designer and composer, Pan-Pan explores creating sonic experiences that travel between heightened theatricality and emotional nuances. Her work spans theater, games, film, opera, and dance. Pan-Pan was awarded Second Prize in Emerging Sound Design and shortlisted as one of the 100 final exhibitors at World Stage Design 2025. Some of her theater credits include City Theatre, Chautauqua Theatre, Theater Mu (Upcoming), Cleveland Public Theater (Associate), Pittsburgh Opera (Upcoming), etc. Outside of the theater, she sound-designed the VR game “Pittsburgh Glass Center: Virtual Glass Blowing,” which received a Golden Place at the 2023 International Serious Play Award and is currently in classroom use at the Pittsburgh Glass Center. Pan-Pan received her MFA from Carnegie Mellon University and B.A from UC, Irvine.

With Pan-Pan’s classical voice background, she is deeply fascinated by the innate musicality in sound design and loves to create evocative, dynamic compositions through a blend of synthesis, acoustic instruments, real-time vocal processing, and sound effects.
