ABOUT ME


Hello!

My name is Marco! I am an interdisciplinary storyteller. Thanks for giving me a chance to show you what I am all about!

Education


B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies

  • This means that instead of focusing on a single discipline, I studied a variety of them, the possibilities that live in the gaps between each discipline, and also explored the different tools to bridge these gaps!

  • At UBC, I had a chance to sharpen both my academic skills and my artistic ones!

    • Academic / technical writing

    • Interdisciplinary Research Methods

    • Creative writing and dramaturgy

    • Public speaking and acting

University of British Columbia

Diploma in Game Design

Graduated with Honours

Vancouver Film School

  • The Game Design program at Vancouver Film School taught me practical skills in various disciplines of Game Design, including 3D modeling, level design, and programming. Most importantly, while at VFS I learned about the video game production pipeline and often had opportunities to work in a team setting.

  • I have had a chance to apply everything I learned at VFS many times since graduating. Since learning about production pipelines, I strive to prototype and iterate on every artistic endeavor I take on. When it comes to achieving an product standard for myself, I now know to stablish and follow quality assurance methodology.
