Marco A. Valerio, Game Designer and App Developer.
I am an associate Game Designer currently working at Rockstar Games, with a well-rounded skill set, that likes to create small and interesting experiences! In order to showcase my design skills I became quite technically proficient in C# and Unity, but I can also 3d model with 3dsMax and have traditional art skills which help me when I am level designing on paper.
On top of Designing games, I love to teach, practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I also love to develop Android Apps for fun!
