About Espada

Espada Studio is my personal toolkit turned into a product.

After more than a decade working as a Game Designer specialised in systems, economies, and balancing, I kept running into the same problem: the tools I needed didn't exist, or weren't intuitive enough to use.

So I started building my own. Fast prototypes. Debug utilities. Economy planners. Simulators. Over the years these internal tools became the backbone of how I work.

Espada Studio exists to turn those private tools into polished products so other designers can work faster, think clearer, and build better systems without reinventing everything from scratch.
