Gabriel Chauri
I’m Gabriel Chauri. I’m a passionate game designer with several years of professional experience. I like to create experiences that players will enjoy and share and most important of all, that will make them think and see the world in a different way. I also like to teach and mentoring. I’ve participated in several games jams as a jammer and as a mentor and I’ve teached different disciplines (like music theory and game design) for +6 years.

Through our courses that combine theory and practice, we will give you the tools so you as a game designer develop the correct mindset and framework that will allow you to create longlasting and meaningful games that players will enjoy.
In Game Design Thinking, we are firm believers that games have the power to change the world for the better and that we as game designers, have the responsability to make these changes happen.
