A PROPOS DE MOI

Depuis très petit, je joue et j'analyse avec admiration les jeux auxquels je m'essaie. Je me suis pris de passion pour cet art et j'ai donc décidé d'en faire mon métier passion mon travail : je suis devenu Game Designer.

Ma formation m'a apporté toutes les connaissances théoriques et pratiques dans différents domaines : analyse de jeux, prototypage (jeux vidéo, jeux de plateaux, jeux de cartes, etc...), écriture de documents (Game Design Document, docs techniques, ...), travail d'équipe et bien d'autres !

Je suis curieux et polyvalent, j'aime diversifier mes compétences et donner mon maximum pour devenir le Game Designer le plus compétent, complet et efficace possible.
