Hi, I'm Gabriel Toschi!
Nice to meet you! Let's play a game?
I’m a freelancer game designer that lives in Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazil. Games are my passion since I remember being alive, and creating games is truly my childhood's big dream. I was the strange kid that wanted board games instead of action figures. Or even food!
From the FrontPage 2003 websites I created as a kid to the RPG Maker games that I never finished as a teenager, I got to college to graduate in Computer Science from the University of São Paulo (USP) wanting to become a digital game developer. I got to be a front-end web engineer instead, working on companies for 10+ years already.
But it was during college (and specially during game jams) that I finally understood the power of game design. On those events, I not only created my first puzzles for digital games, but also my first ever board games! Years later, the pandemic hit and the childhood dream started to flourish again.
Today, I'm proud to be working professionally with game design for 5+ years, creating games for publishers around the world, for new universes or existing IPs. My focus are accessible, easy-to-grasp games, including family, party, children and micro games. I see challenges like small boxes and theme restrictions more as opportunities to innovate than limitations. No game is for everyone, but everyone can find their favorite game!

Content creation archive
Since I was a teenager, I loved writing on the internet, including video game reviews, and even hosted some podcasts! Nowadays, I’m more focused on game design, but these are my archive of some content I made in the past.
