Creative director and co-founder 2009-2014 / Playotope
Playotope is a game startup I co-founded in 2009 during the social game and gamification boom. As creative director I lead a small team of designers, coders and artists for 4+ years.
We released Treasure Joe, a browser-based game maker app for 2D platformers. Later, we partnered with Greenpeace Argentina to create Forests of Eden, a social game with 3D forests to explore and a big dose of environmental education.
In between, we also took on several client projects, applying our team‘s skills and technology to playful advertising solutions and digital experiences. The company disbanded in late 2014.
