Nadeeka Acri - Accounts

Nadeeka finished her degree in accounting and HR in 2004, and followed her then-boyfriend, now-husband, to Italy where she lived in La Spezia for six years teaching English and learning Italian, how to cook, and how to yell at a football game.

Nadeeka’s hubby on the other hand became an award winning Pizza Maker in his New Lynn shop, Settebello Pizza!

Vedat Kiyici - Post Production Supervisor

This is Vedat's first gig in New Zealand, dating back to 2004. Since then, he has carved his place in the industry having worked on award-winning TV/Radio Commercials, prime-time TV Shows, and Films.
Born and bred in Istanbul, he lived in NYC about 9 years, studied sound at Institute of Audio Research ('98), and Video and Multimedia production at CUNY ('03), played in bands, and recorded & mixed music.
His vast technical knowledge, keen eyes and ears for story telling, and superb time management skills will help you finish your project the most efficient way possible .
Always looking for better ways to do things, he actually invented audio software plugins and apps that are being used in studios world wide!

Morten started his audio journey as a graduate of SAE 2010. He was quick to get leading industry experience with an internship at the prominent York Street Recording Studios where he cut his teeth working with some of NZ’s best musicians. Then he worked his way around Auckland -slowly transitioning into post production, and that’s when we snapped him up. At Envy, Morten works on an eclectic mix of projects both local & international, as a Re-recording Mixer, Sound Editor, Recordist & ADR mixer, approaching every project with passion & diligence. When not working on his studio tan and riding faders, you can find him hard at work riding the surf at Auckland’s west coast beaches.
