Hi, I'm Fio. Sometimes also referred to as Gecko.
Stories and fantastic worlds have always been enthralling to me, no matter if it was a good book, a comic or a game. Thus I've spent most of my time growing up reading, watching, playing and often dreaming.
Despite dreaming and creating my own worlds, magics, intrigues and stories in my head, the possibility of bringing them to life seemed far away and unreachable.
For a long time, I chose the financially safe route, chasing technical and broadly searched for career options because of a knack for logic and digital stuff. For details check out my career path below.
At some point, I had enough. I needed more creativity in my life.
This led to the decision to study one of my biggest fascinations. Game Arts.
Because of the financial risks, I wasn't sure in the first moments, but every day is more of a confirmation I've made the right choice.
Not once have I been able to put this much passion into everything from private projects to homework. And this is where I am now, leaving me excited for the rest of this path yet to come.
