My name is Ionatán Biniamin Maghidman, I go by Ioni. Originally from Brazil, São Paulo. I'm based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I graduated the bachelor of games design of RMIT University with high distinction.

Currently I work as a Motion Graphics Designer for Champion Data, a sports company that provides statistics and graphics for sports in Australia and abroad, including cricket, AFL, golf, netball, etc. I mainly use Unity and Unreal to deliver graphics, as well as Viz Artist.

I run a small indie studio called Quadrado Studios with 3 fellow graduates of RMIT. We are currently developing our first complete game, Garganta, for a future full release on Steam.

As a generalist, I am passionate about multiple areas of game development, predominantly producing, programming, 3D art, writing, music and sound design, though I always continue my pursuit to explore new areas.
