Who am I?

I'm Ricardo Villalobos, a versatile creative with a background in both game design and graphic design. As a recent graduate of Marist College in Games and Emerging Media, my journey has allowed me to explore and enjoy the exciting worlds of both game and graphic design. My academic experiences and an internship with Grupo Callejas in El Salvador have sharpened my skills in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Figma, enabling me to infuse my creative abilities into your innovative team.

 

I greatly admire qualities like honesty, reliability, and the unwavering commitment to see projects through to the end. My life's journey, with its share of ups and downs, has molded me into someone who continually strives to embody these virtues and evolve as a better human being.

 

As a dedicated gamer, I'm drawn to this world for several reasons: my genuine love for gaming, the invaluable life skills it fosters, such as teamwork and leadership, and, most importantly, the sense of community it engenders. Gaming has been the conduit for some of my most profound friendships, and the connections I've forged are a testament to the power of this medium in uniting people across the globe.

 

One game that profoundly influenced my career choice is "Enter the Gungeon," a 2D masterpiece by Devolver Game Studios, which I continue to cherish. However, I can never forget the classics like Sonic, Mario, Pokémon, and Call of Duty, which have been constants in my life. Now, I'm honored to be part of the same industry as the developers who've been a part of my journey since the very beginning.

 

My recent job experiences have introduced me to the world of graphic design, and I've developed a newfound love for this creative field. I've been able to explore graphic design principles and enhance my skills in this area, which has added another dimension to my creative journey. Experiencing the fusion of graphic and game design in my work has been a truly rewarding experience, and I'm excited to bring this passion to a workplace.

So, who am I? I am an artist, a coder, a gamer, and a digital media creator, eager to craft projects that allow me to share emotions, experiences, and dreams with people worldwide.
