Biography

Nia Hansen joined Skywalker Sound in 2009 as an intern under Randy Thom, contributing to six films during her year-long program. Gary Rydstrom later recruited her upon his return to Skywalker for Steven Spielberg’s War Horse, where she drew upon seven years of horse training experience to enhance the film’s sound design. Her collaboration with Rydstrom on two additional projects deepened her understanding of sound as a powerful storytelling tool.

Over the years, Nia has worked on a range of Disney and Pixar animations and major visual effects-driven science fiction and fantasy blockbusters. She has edited and designed sound for eight Marvel films, including Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. She thrives on the creative challenge of designing technology, magic, and creatures, bringing fantastical worlds to life with meticulous attention to detail, texture, and symbolism.
