About Me

I have a degree in Advertising, a postgrad in Radio and TV, and specializations in narrative designer, scriptwriting, games, and illustration — which is what I’m currently working! Basically, if you toss all of this into a blender, you’d get a double-shot of creativity in smoothie form. And the best part? No ice required. Just a cool gig to bring out that one-of-a-kind flavor.

Welcome to my portfolio, lovingly named The Patrick Swayze Portfolio (yep, like Sam, the ghost from Ghost movie). Why “ghost,” you ask? Because, while I haven’t worked directly in games yet, the time has finally come to bring my biggest dream to life. I’ve put together a selection of projects in this world, and even though it’s my first official step into the industry, I’ve always been deep into creativity and crafting unique experiences.

Take a look around and enjoy! And hey, don’t be shy — reach out! I would be happy to sign a contract, whether it be a full-time role or a freelance.
