About

I’m Rafael Jan Vicente, a game designer with a background in both tabletop and digital games. I started in the board game industry before moving into video games, where I later became Lead Game Designer. My work has focused on designing gameplay systems and writing scenario content and dialogue to support them, giving me experience in both mechanical and narrative design. Outside of game development, I also do podcasting and voice work as a personal pursuit, which has helped me develop confidence in voiceover and voice acting. I bring a systems-focused mindset and a strong understanding of how players engage with games and interactive experiences.
