about
Hi, I'm Santi.
My full name's Santiago Gaete, but Santi is fine. My goal is to make cool things that inspire other people to make even cooler things.
I'm a student at the University of Southern California as a major in
Computer Science Games, graduating in 2029.

I like making 'em, that's for sure.
The Video Game™, to me, is the art form that brings together the greatest amount of different creative fields—and
thus, the greatest amount of amazingly talented people that I want to learn from.
I'm capable as a generalist, and I'm working towards using my skills for tech art.

The fun part.
Illustration and 3D modeling are a favorite of mine. Check out my art portfolio.
I also do photography often. Here's a recent album!

I like running. I ran cross country and track in high school, and I'm now a member of USC's triathlon club. It's fun to do hard things!
Strategy games are some of my favorites. Most recently, I've been competing in Pokemon VGC, and I've played
at the regional level (and Worlds, technically.)
Manufacturing and fabrication is a big hobby of mine, and I'm currently a
Student Worker at USC's Baum Family Maker Space. I handle 3D printing & laser cutting, because
I'm most interested in how these machines can be used to produce art!
