Dan Bernado – Co-Founder & Game Director, Playtra Games & TheGameHouse

Originally from Brazil, Dan studied Anthropology before building a career over more than 17 years as a C-Level Creative Director for a range of start-ups and large businesses. In 2019 Dan decided to found Playtra Games and use his experience assembling talented teams and building efficient products in pursuit of his childhood dream of creating games.

Dan is an advocate for alternative narrative structures and cultural diversity in games, quickly becoming one of the most active voices in the indie gaming scene in the UK. He gives talks on those subjects at game events around the world, including PAX, PGC, GDC, BFI and DEVCOM, where he currently sits in its advisory board.
