Enthusiastic and ambitious game designer with experience on academic projects built in UE5 and Unity. I love working mainly on the narrative and gameplay, but I enjoy almost every position a designer can cover. Outside the industry I like motorsports and cars, and I enjoy travelling and discovering countries by tasting their food. I also love photography and well-written stories expressed in media of any kind.
