About me
Game Designer and UX Designer
Design... A brief word that encompasses many and varied aspects. A word that is directly related to one of the most important aspects of the video game world... the "player". Understanding and elaborating how a world unfolds around the user, how the story is presented to them, how to effectively but subtly guide the user through our world... Does clicking on this side of the screen make sense? Is this light only guiding, or does its flicker induce some sensation in the player? Why is the door slightly ajar? All aspects that seem superfluous and even separate but really form a whole. A story. An experience.
This and much more is what I have always loved about the world of video games. How with actions, stories, movements... we can imbue the user in a completely different, unique story... make them part of the world we are creating. It's something often indescribable and why I love this world. Because many times, instead of saying design, I prefer to say... magic. Because creating surprise, excitement, sadness with a video game is something magical and unique. Something worth working on day by day.
