Hello there! I’m Andrea, a narrative designer and writer.

As a kid I wanted to be Jim Hawkins, Batman, a Jedi, a DigiDestined… When I grew up, the only thing left was to write stories.

I build stories, characters and worlds across media. I trained as a comic book writer and screenwriter before coming to games as a narrative designer. I started with audiogames, fully accessible to blind and visually impaired players, and then moved on to videogames.

My work doesn’t stop at the documents. I work directly in the engine and with in-house tools, I team up with programmers on the narrative tools a project needs, and I work closely with level designers on environmental storytelling. As a project manager I have also supported directors and producers, so I’m used to talking with every department and keeping the work focused on the tasks that matter. I also pitch projects: A Western Drama won the Incredibol call, and I have presented Nocturama Bononia at industry events in Bologna and Hell Galaxy at Comicon Napoli.

What I enjoy most about this job is the teamwork. I don’t write alone in a room: I like being changed by people who know things I don’t, and finding creative ways around the obstacles of a long project.
