From logic to emotion
From logic to emotion
Hi, I’m a systems-driven storyteller and game creator with a passion for merging gameplay, aesthetics, and narrative into meaningful experiences.
I come from a programming background (C# + Unity), but what truly drives me is the moment when style meets structure — when a character, a mechanic, or a level feels alive because everything just fits.
I’m particularly interested in designing gameplay systems with narrative weight, stylized universes, and projects where even the smallest detail feels intentional. I believe in harmony between creative vision and implementation, between rules and surprise, between control and emotion.
I bridge creative vision with technical execution.

In 2020, I developed and released my first solo project FARO, a 2D puzzle-platformer made in Unity, as a way to apply everything I had self-taught about game design and development.
The game features 12 handcrafted levels set in a surreal floating archipelago populated by mechanical beings, where the player must activate teleporting beacons to return home.
Despite its simplicity, FARO reflects a strong attention to level design principles—especially inspired by the kishōtenketsu philosophy—along with a subtle, emergent narrative that came out naturally.
In Q2 of 2025 I started working on Project Armònia, a new solo project built in Unreal Engine with a stronger focus on storytelling, shaped by my experience and recent training in Narrative Design at Digital Bros Academy.
