My Story

About Me

Hi! I'm Edward Mena, a student of Videogame Design and Development at Universitat Jaume I.

I’m passionate about creating interactive experiences that blend visual impact, technical precision, and meaningful design. My main interests lie in visual effects and technical design, and I aim to keep growing as a professional in the videogame industry.

I also have a deep passion for motorsport, and my dream is to one day work at a videogame studio or racing simulator developer, where I can unite both worlds I love.
