​

Hello! This is Diego Mapa, a Manila-based music producer and arranger with over a decade of experience spanning audio post-production, sound design, and music scoring for film, broadcast, and commercial work. As the owner of Pulse Wave Studio, I have led recording, mixing, and audio post workflows for high-profile clients including Amazon Prime (Takeshi’s Castle Philippines), Nike, Nestlé Philippines, and Converse, delivering polished, broadcast-ready sound across diverse formats. I bring a deep understanding of both creative and technical audio processes—from audio editing and sound effects design to full music production—supported by industry recognition such as Best Original Music Score awards at the Metro Manila Film Festival and Cinemalaya. I am eager to contribute my experience, adaptability, and critical listening skills to a role where quality audio and collaborative production are essential.
