Oriol Viu i Duran

Interactive Storyteller
& Games Researcher

Hi there,

my name is Oriol Viu i Duran, also known as oriolgami!

I've just graduated with a research-focused MA in Game Design in Sweden, though I originally hail from Catalonia. My research mainly focuses on nostalgia for digital worlds and urban representation in/through games. I also have professional experience across indie game development, visual design, and activity organisation.

Most of my fondest memories are game-related; watching my sister play The Sims 2, the summers I spent glued to the Wii, or making the PSP my most loyal travel companion. Now, making games myself allows me to combine my technical background with a passion for design and storytelling. From complete cinematic platformers to experimental game poems, I've been working on diverse personal projects for 6+ years.

I’m creative, caring, versatile, and detail-oriented; also, a sucker for trivia, live music, basketball, and niche Simpsons references. Find me in your nearest record store, cinema, or botanic garden!
