About

I’m Daniel Esteban dos Santos Yanez, a Game Designer and 3D Character Artist focused on creating game-ready assets and prototypes. I work mainly with Blender and Unity, and I enjoy building systems and gameplay features while also developing 3D environments and characters.

I combine creativity and hard work with a programming mindset, using C# (and also C++) to help bring my designs to life through prototypes and game design documents. I’ve also done freelance 3D character design and animation/rigging work, and I’m always learning—currently training in Maya, Unreal Engine, and After Effects.
