ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Renee, a Brazilian game designer and developer who believes that simplicity is powerful. I focus on creating clear, straightforward designs that keep players engaged through strong core systems and well-structured data. I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into clean, functional experiences, always aiming for clarity in both the gameplay and the creative process. Outside of work, I'm passionate about games, soccer, my wife, and our dog — the things that keep life fun and grounded.
