I believe games are one of the most powerful tools that brought change to our history. Games teach and educate us about strength, adventure, community, empathy, humanity, inclusivity, emotion, life, and the real meaning of "fun".
Games can change the world and I want to be part of that change.
My parents spent their honeymoon playing Metal Slug in an Arcade Room.
Since I was a kid, I've always been surrounded by games wandering in their
videogame store like it was Wonderland trying every cd on a CRT Tv.
When I started my education in Game Design I learned that games can become tools; that they have deep psychological structures to make the players feel joy through the process of learning mechanics, and mastering knowledge to be able to change and impact the world around them. Games artificially create freedom.
I am a Game Designer
I played my first video game at the age of four with Super Monkey Ball and Mario Party games on Nintendo Gamecube and since that day I collected and played games all my life, with thousands and thousands of hours of gameplay.
One of my hobbies is collecting retro-games, titles that formed the history of
the gaming industry and were the entrance points that led us to the amazing immersive technologies and stories we have nowadays.
Many of them were the games I grew up with, and many others I've never played.
As a gamer, I usually seek different emotions in several gameplay genres.
I am a really hardcore player, always looking for challenges to achieve such as a "platinum" or a really difficult end-game boss, but my passion for games is not only related to competitiveness and skill-bragging.
Games changed me as a person. Games gave me a community, friends to share my passions and struggles with; games gave me heartfelt stories to shape my empathy and bring real tear-busting emotion; games gave me other worlds to explore and a tool to escape daily life stimulating creativity and learning.
Games taught me so much stuff I can't list.
They guided me in finding the job I've always wanted to do in my life: creating experiences that bring joy to their players.
