Andrés Ortiz’s Summary
Wishes to enter into high-reaching design projects that move and shake the notions people have of gaming and interactive design. Holds the strong belief that games can be just as moving as real life experiences, and that through a particularly powerful experience one could learn real life lessons and be emotionally pushed to a different stance on sensitive issues.
Has entered into various interactive projects from an early start using programs such as Flash and Java, and has recently moved on to work with various companies and affiliations to work on full-time developer games and projects that include interactivity as the foundation.
