Our team
PlayMedusa is a virtual organization composed by a multidisciplinary network of geographically dispersed professionals. Or so it seems. Anyways: we work on something we love, from home, enjoying the flexible timetable that such a creative activity requires.
And we do this from a privileged place: the Canary Islands. Some of us live in Tenerife, some in Gran Canaria, all of us enjoy a mild climate throughout the whole year, fantastic beaches, mountains to enjoy and otherworldly volcanic landscapes.

Marcos Aythami Santana Montesdeoca
