Hello again!

About work

I began my studies in Digital Games and Multimedia, but after my first year I shifted towards a more design-focused path, pursuing a degree in Communication Design. During this time, I discovered my passion for Interaction Design through one of the courses, which ultimately led me to pursue a Master's degree in the field. This path allowed me to combine my early experience in video games with my foundation in communication design, shaping a multidisciplinary approach to my work.
