My responsibilities include crafting polished environments, developing visual storytelling elements, and ensuring high-quality standards across all projects. My extensive experience spans various roles and companies, including working as a tutor at Animum Creativity Advanced School and as a concept artist for Falcon's Creative Group and Scruffy Dog Creative Group. I have also contributed to game development, animation, and film projects, creating dynamic artwork, storyboards, and marketing visuals. With a solid educational background in graphic design and concept art from GADE Business School, Escola JOSO, and Facultad de Bellas Artes UPV/EHU, I am always open to new opportunities and eager to bring creative solutions to diverse projects.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
