Graphiste 2D et pixel artist dans le jeu vidéo depuis plus de 20 ans.
Enthousiaste, pragmatique et rigoureux, je mets mon savoir-faire au service de créations originales ou de jeux à licences.

Mon expérience m'a permis d'aborder les différents aspects de la création visuelle dans le cadre d'un projet de jeu 2D: direction artistique, design/animation de sprites, UX/UI, conception de FX et backgrounds, key arts, marketing assets...

​​

Quand l'occasion se présente, j'aime m'investir dans le game et level design et suis toujours partant pour des missions de consulting.

2D graphic designer and pixel artist for video games for over 20 years.
Enthusiastic, pragmatic, and meticulous, I lend my expertise to original creations as well as licensed games.

My experience has allowed me to tackle various aspects of visual creation within the framework of a 2D game project: art direction, sprite design/animation, UX/UI, FX and background design, key art, marketing assets, etc.

When the opportunity arises, I enjoy getting involved in game and level design and am always up for consulting assignments.
