Description

Versatile designer with an engineering background, I help studios and brands create impactful game experiences, from concept to playable prototype.

With experience at Dotemu and Pastagames, I've worked on iconic licenses (Pac-Man) and demanding projects (Beat 'em up / Roguelike).

My dual expertise in Design and Programming allows me to:

Create levels focused on combat, exploration, and pacing.
Balance complex mechanics and progression systems.
Integrate design intentions myself on Unity or custom engines, including scripting for gameplay events and cutscenes.

What I can do for you:

Rapid prototyping of gameplay mechanics.
Level design and integration (Blockout to production).
Scripting for quests, simple AI, and in-game events.
Writing clear GDDs and technical documentation.
