Welcome to my portfolio!

My name is Pablo Fernández-Vega Padilla. I’m a 26-year-old Spanish game designer who is currently living in the south of Spain but would love to live in and explore new cities. I studied game design and development in Madrid, and since 2022, I've been involved in designing various commercial titles, both for mobile platforms and more traditional formats like PC and consoles.

As a designer, I believe in embodying two fundamental principles: organization and polish. These guiding values are at the heart of everything I do. My dedication to meticulous documentation and task management ensures a systematic approach that leads to a level of quality that truly makes projects shine.

This commitment to excellence is something my industry peers can attest to. Additionally, I understand the importance of communication, teamwork, and continuous learning in a development environment. I am committed to applying these values effectively, fostering a collaborative and innovative atmosphere. I am confident that my skills and dedication will contribute significantly to the success of your team.
