"I connect narrative and product across different media, guiding creative and design decisions, structuring and writing stories, shaping more meaningful experiences, and pursuing consistency, immersion, engagement, and universe expansion in the development of both new and existing intellectual properties."
About My Journey
Passionate about experiences that transported me to other worlds and delivered immersion and entertainment, especially games, films/series, and books, I began my professional journey in the creative industries through fiction writing, publishing books and short stories, particularly in the fantasy genre. Over time, I also dedicated myself to writing scripts for audiovisual media and comics.
Eventually, I expanded my work into game development, starting with content and narrative design and game writing. Gradually, I developed the knowledge and experience to also plan and execute systems design, mechanics, and level design, while maintaining a strong focus on narrative cohesion throughout the entire player experience.
Increasingly interested in how narrative integrates across different products and how intellectual properties expand across multiple media, I shifted my focus toward transmedia creative production by planning, facilitating, and executing projects where narrative, systems, and audience experience converge to develop intellectual properties across different media.
To me, narrative is not only text. Narrative is the entire experience of a product or a transmedia universe, from the first interaction to the final perception.
