When I was a kid, my family used to say a good story was better than any screen — but when I was nine, I inherited a DS. Ever since then, I’ve been trying to prove that stories are even better when you’re part of them. I’ve spent my whole life searching for the medium that fits me best: I act and play music, studied a year of Audiovisual Communication, and eventually graduated in Digital Creation, Animation, and Video Games at the University of A Coruña. Since then, I’ve specialized in narrative design for video games and completed a master’s degree in Game Design at the European University of Madrid.

My passion for entertainment (and memes) helped me carve out a space as a video editor and creator at IGN Spain — and thanks to that, I now also get to write about the medium that moves me so deeply. I love talking about the Spanish video game industry and the indie scene, with influences like Little Nightmares, Night in the Woods or What Remains of Edith Finch. I’m also a huge animation nerd, with The Iron Giant standing as my all-time favorite.
