Andrea Saravia Pérez
Hi! Nice to meet you, my name's Andrea and I'm a bilingual narrative designer and writer based on the East Coast. I love collaborating with other disciplines to craft immersive, interactive experiences in Firaxis Games and WAI Studios.
Dialogue is what I excel at, in both Spanish and English, but more often than not you'll find me creating multi-layered characters and bringing their journeys into the hands of players.
