Tona Monterde

I make games and create music to go with them.
I like problem-solving, strong atmospheres and I tend to focus on player experience first.
Always open for new opportunities !

I specialize on 3C, system design, and rational design, answering core design questions early and refining ideas through prototyping and iteration.My main focus is creating deep player engagement through worlds that feel alive and believable.
