Better call (me) Maxi!

Though I’ve done business extensively as “SandraMJdev” or “Sandra ‘Maxi’ Molina” in the past, I’ve become well-known enough as Maxi that I’d like to use “Maxi Molina” as a business name exclusively moving forward!

About Me

Maxi Molina Juan is a Spanish 28-year-old freelance Game Director, Voice Director and Casting Director, Art Director, 2D Artist, Writer, Script Editor and retired Comic Colorist and English – Spanish translator with over 10 years of experience working across different artistic industries.

 

Previous clients include major companies such as Blizzard, DC Comics and Dark Horse, as well as a wealth of indie game companies, including Akupara Games and Strange Scaffold.

 

Voice Direction is their favorite role, and they have experience providing casting and vocal direction services in English, Spanish, Japanese and Catalan.

Career Overview

My career started early —far too early— before I was even done with highschool, at the age of 17. I never went to college, since by the time I was 18 I was working on Game of Thrones’s comic adaptation. By 19, I was in DC Comics coloring Batman, and by 20 I had worked on several Blizzard IPs, and even Tarzan for Dark Horse.

By the time I was 21, instead of continuing a stellar ascension in the comics industry, I managed to injure my wrist in a permanent way. Rather than force myself to be miserable through the pain continuing the only job I’d known, I decided to turn a new page and start working on my own game, The Hayseed Knight.

The quality of its art, voice acting and narrative spoke for itself, and ever since, I’ve been working directing games for other development teams!
