Intermundia is a personal project, an almost 8 minutes long, meditative trip that combines the aesthetic of dark ambient album covers, a stylized Lovecraftian world, and a narrative inspired by hermetic and gnostic philosophy.

Every aspect of the piece – planning and logistics, concepts, still images, camera angles, narrative, video generation, voiceover, and soundtrack – have all been orchestated using meticulously detailed and illustrated “creative blueprints" for multiple interconnected models.

For the best experience, make sure to watch it in 4K (2160p) @60fps, with the sound on! ;)

The Chronicles of The Grand Inquisitor was a fan favorite, fully voice-acted lore video series, serving as the narrative pre-amble and introduction to Apocalypse Studios' upcoming dark fantasy game Deadhaus Sonata.

The series started off as audio only, but the emergence of AI made it possible to add webcomic-style illustrations to every episode. I have done 9 episodes, each 30-40 minutes long with more than a hundred shots.

All this was done back when Stable Diffusion still reigned supreme, and character consistency was achieved the "artisanal" way, through guidance illustrations and LoRas. This project, with its grand drama, elaborate world-building, and dark megalithic architecture was great fun to work on.

This is a collection of various mini-projects, half-baked experiments, and technical explorations.

Each of these had an original purpose: an announcement or teaser, a testbed for a tool or a model, a showcase for techniques like motion control and proxy-based editing, or serving as a live prop for a workshop session.

Served as Chief Creative Officer at Gamblit Gaming, a one-of-a-kind venture startup that brought the interactivity and genre variety of mobile gaming into regulated markets, including the premier resorts of the Las Vegas Strip.

Built the internal development studio and 20+ award-winning titles for mobile, web, and proprietary location-based hardware. Successfully engaged an audience 20 years younger than industry average.

Over $100 million in private equity funding, scaled into 24 regulated jurisdictions across 9 US states.

The two titles below perfectly illustrate what appealed to new audiences and operators alike. They delivered real-money action that moves beyond the traditional slot paradigm.

They offered the interactivity and depth of modern video games, while remaining regulatorily compliant, safe from problem gambling behaviors, and competitively profitable.

Led creative and product teams on the category-leading (5 million monthly active users) live-service mobile title Bingo Blitz, acquired by Playtika. Boosted revenue through top-performing content and feature releases, including a community-favorite collaboration with Elvis Presley Enterprises.

Designed and produced Solitaire & Prizes, one of the first titles to feature real-world prize sweepstakes. Achieved outstanding player retention results that powered the title’s 10-year market run.

Led creative and product teams on Action Allstars, a sports-themed virtual world with 6 million players and NBA/MLB/NFL brand partnership.

Principal creative developer on Playdom's Tiki Resort, one of the first social titles to reach 1 million daily active users.

Principal creative developer on Flektor’s advanced interactive media platform acquired by Myspace.

I held senior / lead creative roles - focusing primarily on environment and technical art - at gaming powerhouses Activision, THQ, and Naughty Dog.

I have been fortunate to work on 10 consecutive Greatest Hits titles that sold 35+ million units across multiple platforms.

I don't have a whole lot of presentable assets from this era, but quite impressively, the screenshots of my levels below from the Jak & Daxter games still hold up surprisingly well, even after 2 decades.

As the manual says: "Perihelion – a world where advanced science and malevolent Gods exist side by side; where genetic engineering and occultism evolved together; where mutation is a way of life."

The game was created by a team of 3 between 1991 and 1993, under extraordinarily challenging conditions.

It was my first game, published by legendary UK publisher Psygnosis to boot. Taking this project to completion while going to school still qualifies as one of the most difficult but rewarding things I have ever done.

A signature element of the game was the shared, common 32-color two-tone palette which in retrospect was a pretty bold move, yet proved to be a key ingredient to the unique look and atmosphere.

The game was hailed by Amiga Action magazine as a "Hardcore RPG player's dream". It has developed a cult following, inspired a pen-and-paper conversion, a lot of fan fiction, and it's still being played 30+ years later with relentless lobbying for a Kickstarter reboot. 😉

The term "design" covers an expansive territory, from visual design to product design to game design to technical and system design to UI and experience design, and much more.

Over the course of my career I have worked across almost every one of these verticals, whether by choice or out of sheer necessity to get the job done.

Below is a sampling of a few more recent projects with a visual component to showcase.
