Summary

I am doctor in Fine Arts. My research is focused on video games. I am also an illustrator and animator. I am editor in CoolJapan.es currently, where I write articles and reviews about Japanese video games and the Japanese video game industry. I've worked in some projects here and there, but my studies didn't let me time for a full-time job. I'd love to enter the video game industry, as the focus of my research is to produce research texts about video game creators, to give video game artists more credit outside the video game world.
