About
I'm a queer artist and game designer from Argentina, currently based in Italy.
* I've been a GM for over fifteen years, mainly for tr/indie games, and I have designed my own games since 2020.
* I was part of a local game club and helped organizing their events for around eight years, focusing on talks about diversity and inclusion in the medium.
* I was part of the San Genaro Co-Op, Far Horizons Co-Op, and the indie*zine project.
* I currently work as a freelancer for TTRPGs and various art projects, besides creating personal work and merchandise.
