What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a game studio where I can own level, narrative, and UX design—using data-driven iteration and rapid prototyping to ship engaging roguelite and narrative-driven experiences with collaborative teams.

Before anything else, I am a designer. To me, design is about solving complex problems with elegant, human-centered solutions, whether I'm shaping a gameplay system, writing a story, or refining a user interface.

Game Designer with 5+ years creating player experiences across roguelites, adventure, party games, deckbuilding, and horror. Combines hands-on implementation in Unity and Unreal with narrative design and level design expertise. Along the way, I’ve contributed to AA studios and indie teams alike.

Core specializations:
→ Game Design: design documents, game feel, mechanics
→ Narrative Design: branching stories, character dialogue, worldbuilding
→ Level Design: spatial puzzles, environmental storytelling, pacing
→ Systems Design: card mechanics, combat balancing, progression systems → UX Design: interface mockups, usability testing, player feedback integration

Some tools:
→ Design: Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop
→ Organization: Notion, Miro, ClickUp
→ Narrative: Articy, Twine

Always open to connect and explore new opportunities. Based in Manaus, Brazil (GMT -4). Let’s build something great together!
