About

Hi, I’m João Cruz, a concept artist and game developer based in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. I’ve spent about two years working with the Unity engine and helped bring four game projects from concept to a playable experience. I love translating ideas into characters, environments, and visual storytelling.

I’m looking for opportunities in the game industry as a Concept Artist or 3D Animator, and I’m also open to roles in related sectors. I value collaboration, continuous learning, and delivering polished visuals that support gameplay and narrative.
