I am an Italian & Australian game designer and dev tester.

​

My first experience in the industry started in 2016 in QA while still working towards my First class BSc Honours degree in Computer Games Design (2017). At this time I worked as a QA tester, both in functionality and localisation, at Pole To Win International (Glasgow, UK) with a casual contract.

​

This first experience in the industry gave me a chance to work on many different and diverse titles. Among those, the most relevant experiences and notable titles were EVE: Valkyrie (on the functionality side) and Final Fantasy XV (loc side).

 
Some time after that, mostly due to the "casual" nature of the contract, I decided to move on and landed a job as a Junior Game Designer at deltaDNA (now part of Unity3D) in Edinburgh, UK. ​My working life there lasted around a year until I went for something different. I wanted to be hands-on in production, which is something that working as a consultant I was not fulfilling. Therefore, I went for a job at Ubisoft Milan, as a Development Tester on Ghost Recon Breakpoint. 

​

In October 2020 I changed role within the studio to Junior Game Designer on Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Six months in, I also became Product Owner of a feature as the project shifted to agile with a scrum framework. In April 2021 I was promoted to Game Designer. M+R:SoH is still my current employment. 

 

My main interests as a game designer revolve around compelling narrative, story-driven elements and storytelling but I am interested in all aspects of game design and would love to get some experience in all of them. From quest design to game balancing. 

 

​​I also really enjoy attending game jams and industry talks and conferences. Knowledge sharing is something I deeply believe in and love. I also love how most in the industry are so welcoming and approachable in this regard. IGDA Scottish Chapter events played their part too while I was still in the UK and are something I genuinely miss.
