Bio
Juan Manuel Fernandez Leon
I worked with Julián for about 2 years in different games. Working together with him has been not only one of the funniest working experiences but also one of the richest. Most of the things I've learned about good game and level design I've learnt them from him. From creating the best FTUE to the best fun and monetizing level to organising design tasks and present them to the rest of the team. He is a really good designer but he is also really good at helping and letting other designers grow. And the most important thing is you can really feel he puts his heart in every game and every detail, you can see he loves games.

I've worked closely with Julian during almost one year. It was an awesome experience to create a game from the scratch with him. He is a huge source of knowledge related with games, he loves design and play games as much as he can. He knows how to listen to the team, openly involve them in the process of designing ideas and always willing to support their colleagues. Julian has not been just a great coworker he has become a very good friend. I would love to work with him in future projects.
