Hey, I’m Jordi Tur, an undergraduate student of Game Desing and Development at Centre de la Imatge i Tecnologia Multimèdia in Barcelona. I’ve served as the lead designer in the development of Warhammer 40K: Blood & Thunder.

About me

Since I was very young, I have been fascinated by the worlds books and video games are capable of portraying, and how they do it. This fascination sparked my interest in design and storytelling.

After spending a year studying physics and math, I decided to pursue this degree in order to follow this passion, and to learn how to effectively translate concepts, narratives and characters into the medium of video games.

My experience as a lead designer has provided me with a deeper understanding of the responsibilities involved in guiding a team, allowing me to develop valuable skills in organization and strategic planning.
