Hi there! I'm Dayton Tenn, a hands-on sound designer focused on immersive game audio. Over 3+ years in the audio industry, I design creature sounds, implement audio in Unity with Wwise and FMOD, and craft dynamic ambiences that react to players and scenes. I love collaborating with teams to bring characters and worlds to life through sound. I enjoy shaping procedural music systems, exploring Dolby Atmos and field recording, and staying sharp with tools like Pro Tools, Unreal, Unity, GitHub, Trello, and Slack to deliver polished audio for games.
