AR | VR | Game Art | Dev | Production

After working as Art/Creative director for some of top interactive companies in Portugal and collaborating with renowned brands such as Honda, Toyota, Doritos, Pucci and Salsa, I founded Aden, a studio specialized in on creating Gamified Experiences with a mastery of Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Branded Games, Blockchain, AI and Location-Based Entertainment. With extensive expertise in innovation projects, I've crafted immersive experiences for museums, cultural centers, entertainment and brand activation. From interactive simulations to engaging virtual worlds, I bring a versatile skill set enconpassing user interaction, design, game production, AR/VR, 3D, digital art, creative coding and proficiency in Unity 3D and Unreal Engine. My experience extends to various AR/VR equipment and SDKs including Oculus/Meta headsets, HTC Vive headsets, Hololens, ARKit, ARCore, Vuforia, DeepAR, WebAR, and more. I am continually driven to innovate through new projects, seamlessly blending the realms of art, technology and interactivity. Let's discuss your project and create something remarkable together!

Rafael is an expert at game development and has all the relevant experience. He is a through professional, has a lot of patience and I learnt a lot about game development process working with him. He did lots of research on his end and came up with a lot of relevant ideas and suggestions that helped in outlining the overall structure of the game that we are developing. I would highly recommend Rafael for any game development related work.

Storyworlds in Virtual Reality

Digicom
The project consists in the building of a fiction world and creation of a virtual reality (VR) experience, exploring the potential of this medium for immersion and storytelling. We worked lightly in the world building of maps, regions, civilizations, races and cultures, the project is based on McDowell’s methodology, in which the design of a world precedes the telling of a story.

MIT Media Lab’s Dynamic Identity

Digicom
The research presented in this article studies the change in MIT Media Lab’s graphic identity in both 2011 and 2014 — two moments that reflect the state of digital art then. The logo of 2011 is generative with 40 thousand permutations, a reflex of the artistic and technological image of the laboratory. The identity of 2014 aims to be timeless and even though it is not mutant as 2011’s logo, it’s still quite dynamic in its construction and identity applications.
