Hey there! My name is Rafa Teivfik, and I'm from Curitiba, Brazil.
I'm a game developer, programmer and game designer, always ready to take on new challenges!
I believe that video games aren't only products to be consumed. Our art has become an industry, but I make games not only because I want to, but because as an artist, I need to.
Oi! Meu nome é Rafa Teivfik, e eu sou de Curitiba.
Eu sou um desenvolvedor de jogos, programador e game designer, sempre pronto para enfrentar novos desafios!
Eu acredito que jogos não são somente produtos a serem consumidos. Nossa arte foi reduzida a uma indústria, mas eu faço jogos não só porque é o que eu quero, mas porque como artista, eu não tenho outra escolha.
