I prefer the word creator rather than "designer" or "developer" , these sort of pigeonhole you on only doing one thing. But I'm a polyvalent creator always seeking something new.
My strong suits are programming , drawing and designing unique experiences.

Got assigned to create a serious game? No problem. Even if the theme isn't the most thrilling, that doesn't mean I can't craft an engaging, accessible, and rewarding experience brimming with personality and quirkiness.
I believe this game perfectly reflects my unpredictable nature and my drive to break conventions, pushing myself to deliver something truly unique and original.
Veu dels Ancestres was developed by a small group of 3 in a month. It's an action based card rpg with deckbuilding and passive abilities were you get to summon ghosts of important figures of the Catalan culture such as Joanot Martorell, Merçe Rodoreda or Jorge Lorenzo to fight in fast-paced 2 minute action battles.

Environment: Unity

Started working on this crossover card game when I was 15, it's been 4 years but the project just never dies I guess. Of course this was a physical card game but since I'm studying dame dev I thought might as well turn it into a videogame. Makes perfect sense since it's bloated with videogame cameos, eastereggs and references.
It features over 180 drawn cards ranging from all sorts of videogame characters, enemies and bosses, every sprite is original and made by myself.
It's a single player card game where you get to build up an army and use items to boost their stats. Defeat 10 enemies and you'll get to fight a boss but you're AI opponent will be doing the same during their turns, you must defeat the boss before they do.
