Innovation is My Playground. For over three decades, I have been dedicated to creating playful experiences—from the world of video games to the practical application of gamification strategies across diverse contexts.

I have worked with companies such as Activision/Blizzard, Gameloft, 2K Games, and SONY Europe, where as a game designer, I also developed my knowledge on how game design can inspire motivating and effective solutions in education, team engagement, customer loyalty, and beyond in both corporate and societal environments

Over the past six years at Worten, I developed innovation frameworks and products aimed at motivating, engaging, and retaining both employees and consumers.

I am an early adopter of GenAI, having created the Generative Storytelling (GEST) framework, which leverages the latest generative AI technologies to amplify human creativity. I believe in co-creation: AI expands possibilities, generates new ideas, and personalizes immersive, impactful experiences that deeply engage audiences.

In the Postgraduate Program in Gamification, my goal is to share this vision and experience, helping each participant design transformative projects where playfulness and innovation become strategic allies for achieving memorable results.

Let’s build the future together—one epic experience at a time.
