ABOUT ME

Rafaela Gonçalves

I'm Rafaela Gonçalves, but most people call me Ref. I'm a Game Design student at UFPEL who grew up between indie games and boardgames, and that mix still shapes how I design today.

I care a lot about project management and player-centric design: keeping the team healthy, the scope honest and the player at the centre of every decision.
