I’m a Game Designer based in Portugal, with studio experience and a focus on gameplay and systems design. I work mainly with Unreal Engine 5 and Unity, using prototyping and documentation to design, iterate and balance game systems.
My background includes both professional and academic projects, from early prototyping to Vertical Slice and Alpha/Beta production.
I’m particularly interested in combat, economy and world design systems.
