Hi, I'm Dora, an experienced Narrative Designer based in Amsterdam with over 6 years of experience in storytelling for various media.

My career spans AAA game development, indie projects, VR, and short films, alongside work in theatre and creative writing. 

I work across mediums because I love how each one challenges storytelling in different ways.

I’m open to collaborating on projects where story is central to the experience. If that aligns with what you’re making, I’d love to connect.

• Creating frameworks that guide cinematic and narrative content development from concept through execution.
• Mocap / Pcap direction that ensures emotional fidelity.
• VO direction across casting and recording sessions.
• Maintaining narrative consistency across disciplines and production teams.

• Diagnosing issues with existing narrative and content pipelines.
• Establishing narrative and production priorities.
• Improving cross-disciplinary communication between narrative, art, design, and tech.

• Writing dialogue, lore, character sheets, item descriptions, and related narrative content.
• Performing developmental and line editing.

"Dora is one of the most meticulous and masterful Narrative Designer's I've worked with. One of the things that stands out about her is her ability to integrate gameplay, narrative, and art holistically."

- Rafael Alejandro Avendaño, Game Designer at Vertigo Studios Amsterdam

"Dora is one of the best, kindest, and most helpful people I have met in game dev. She served as a key mentor who went above and beyond to not only help align my documents and information, but also grow my network. In fact, just mentioning Dora's name automatically brought out a sense of joy from our mutual connections, and it helped bridge the gap between two strangers."

- Mario Mergola, Independent Game Designer & Mentee

"I'm glad I was able to take my first steps into the industry with Dora as one of my supervisors. She has a natural charisma and personality that can easily motivate anyone and she always supports and pushes you to do the best you can."

- Amilius Sylar, Head of Technical Design and Production at Persona3D

Big brain, big heart.

- Arne Bongers,  Programmer at Vertigo Studios Rotterdam

"Her ability to write interesting narrative that ties the whole game together is fascinating to see."
