About me

I specialize in narrative and level design, with experience developing diverse game prototypes in Unity and Unreal Engine since graduating in 2021.

I previously taught as a Narrative Professor in the Digital Game Design program at Universidad Andrés Bello (Chile), where I guided students in shaping interactive storytelling. I have completed my Master's in Game Design at U-tad (Spain), focusing on both level design and narrative systems.

I'm constantly seeking new challenges and opportunities to grow as a Game Designer, always pushing myself to evolve and refine my craft with every project.
