Violeta Alicia Mediavilla Ponce

KONO VIO DA! I’m Violeta Mediavilla, an Interactive Media Designer from Ecuador with a passion for video games, experimental technologies, and weird art movements born on the internet. As a Latina creator with a background in both computer science and design, some of my fondest memories involve venturing into digital worlds to learn how we might improve our own.

I aim to combine immersive technologies, experimental storytelling, and empathetic design to craft powerful, touching games. I’m especially drawn to collaborative work in international and interdisciplinary environments, where diverse voices, cultures, and ways of thinking can shape experiences rooted in care, curiosity, and radical hope. Creating games that help us connect with our more human side is what makes me feel alive.

My dream is to grow as a game designer who raises awareness around sensitive topics and contributes to collective healing through play, one pixel at a time.

Beyond studying and exploring the relationship between humans and computers, I love visiting and donating to animal shelters. I currently help as an independent rescuer and volunteer. In the distant future, I hope to start my own shelter! 💜
