Game Designer & UX/UI Designer
Hi! I’m Santiago
Hi, I’m Santiago Franco, a Game & UX/UI Designer. What I enjoy most about making games is the mix of creativity and problem-solving that brings a team together to craft something unique. My goal is to create experiences that leave a lasting impression on players, long after they’ve finished the game.

What I Love To Do
Game Design
I specialize in designing captivating core loops that keep players fully engaged and immersed throughout their gameplay experience
UX/UI Design
With 5 years of experience in this field, I specialize in crafting intuitive UIs that enhance player experience without being intrusive and managing and refining gameplay to ensure players enjoy the best the game offers.
Level Design
What is a game mechanic without a level that lets the player enjoy the full potential of it. I enjoy creating levels that engage with the player and push their knowledge of how the game works
