About Me

Hi! I'm Bernardo, a game design graduate with a passion for digital design, interactive media, and storytelling. My work bridges multiple disciplines, from game development and 3D modeling to branding, cinematography, and content creation. I thrive on crafting immersive experiences, whether through interactive design, cinematic presentations, or compelling visual narratives.

One of my unique strengths is designing presentations in a cinematic way - an approach I've developed that sets my work apart. I also have hands-on experiences with Unreal Engine, Unity, mobile game development, and digital painting, allowing me to bring creative concepts to life. Beyond games, I have a deep interest in filming and content strategy, blending my skills in media production with branding and digital storytelling.

I'm always looking for opportunities to collaborate on innovative projects, whether in game development, interactive media, or creative content. Let's connect and bring ideas to life!
