My dream job is creating stunning experiences with impact for the player. 

Since I was child, I really loved creating new things. I was always making boardgames or handicrafts with my sister. When I discovered videogames with Jak and Daxter I knew that I wanted to made one.

​

I studied Psychology because the human behaviour behind the creative process is my main interest. At the same time I had done many courses about programming or Game Design. When I realized that game design was my passion, I decided to study the Game Design Masters Degree at U-tad (Madrid) where I developed Shards of Hope (2020).​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I believe video games are a unique form of art because they combine storytelling, visual design, music, and gameplay to create experiences that evoke genuine emotions. That belief has shaped both my academic and professional journey.

​

After working as a Game Designer on more than 20 commercial projects, I expanded my expertise through advanced training in Firebase and Google Analytics, learning to combine player psychology with data-driven decision making to improve engagement and retention. I also completed a Master's Degree in Game Business Management and a University Expert Certificate in Video Game Art, strengthening my understanding of product strategy and creative direction.

A major milestone in my career was moving to Tokyo, where I joined Keywords Studios Japan as an LQA Specialist, contributing to AAA titles for publishers such as Capcom, Square Enix, and Niantic. Seeing my name in the credits of AAA games fulfilled one of my childhood dreams while giving me valuable insight into large-scale game development.

 

Alongside my professional career, I also work as a freelance Game Design consultant through Upwork and LinkedIn, helping indie studios and developers improve their games through design audits, gameplay analysis, product strategy, and player experience reviews.

One of my favourite shows is Arcane!

Although I'm currently living in Granada (Spain), I would be willing to relocate at any moment.
