LORENZO TONDO
I am an aspiring Technical Game Designer, specializing in User Experience, Iteration, and Prototyping.
I have been developing my creative vision for a couple of years, starting with some small concepts and personal work, then expanding to more complex projects during my studies.
I tend to always have a pragmatic approach to solving the design challenges ahead of me, always thinking of how a mechanic will work in the context of a full project, carefully considering possible consequences, and backing up my hypothesis with quick prototypes and a lot of testing.

INTERESTS AND HOBBIES
Other than my passion for videogames, I have many other interests, often regarding my creative vision.
I have a particular interest for performing arts, like acting and dancing. I used to take part in dancing classes and was an acting teacher in a theater school in my city. This allowed me to not only keep improving my creativity, but also forced me to learn how to work in a team and accept responsibilities.
Another hobby of mine consists in playing TTRPGs, mainly DnD 5e, with my friends. I've played as both a player and GM for a while now, and this made me appreciate the company of other people more and more, while also testing my problem solving skills in order to prepare my sessions.
