About

I was born on October 20th, 1991, in El Salvador, a small country in Central America. It’s a tropical paradise with hardworking people, delicious food and landscapes filled with beaches, lakes and volcanoes. The locals call it El Pulgarcito de América, meaning “little thumb”.

I lived there for the first nine months of my life before moving to Tokyo, Japan. I spent the first five years of my life in Japan, where I was introduced to sushi, manga, anime and most importantly where my passion for video games and technology began. For as long as I can remember at a very young age, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to developing video games. 

After Japan, my family and I moved to Irvine, in Orange County, California. That’s where I learned how to be an American. To this day, I feel like California is where I’m from. When I was 12, my mom decided it was time for me to reconnect with my roots, learn Spanish and get to know my family, so we moved to El Salvador and experienced a different way of life. I was exposed to another culture and language that taught me to appreciate even the simplest things. My perspective on life grew and so did my heart.

I graduated college in 2017 from La Escuela de Comunicación Mónica Herrera, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Strategic Design. During that time, I worked in the electronic components industry as a designer and afterwards in a marketing agency doing everything from creating brand identities to editing videos and running social media campaigns in HubSpot.

In 2020, during the pandemic, I graduated at the University of Colorado Boulder, specializing in digital marketing. I created Walkway, a Google Chrome Extension, to connect with people during isolation. I managed and collaborated with over 60 different artists to make it. That same year, I pursued a Master of Arts in Game Development at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

Since 2021, I’ve been developing my own video game, Abyss. Now, I split my time working between New Jersey, New York and El Salvador.

Now, as we near the end of December 2024, I’m incredibly close to releasing the demo of my video game. I can’t wait to see what life and God have in store for me. I feel so grateful to have come this far and to have had the opportunity to create experiences and share them with others.
