Level Designer
About me
I am a level designer based in Montreal, Quebec.
As every designer in the industry, i've got a burning passion for video games. For my part, my passion come from the ambiances and interactions that can be experience by my point of view as a designer and as a player. The most valuable aspect of being a designer is to share the experience you try to convert into memories for the players.
As a career shift, the video games industry seems the perfect fit for me. Once a manager and a coach for sport teams, I know how to bring the best out of opportunities and projects. I brought lots of values from these fields into my designer vision. Communication, collaboration, dynamic and a strong sense of quality.
As a level designer, I enjoy being immerse inside the world I am working on. As an actor inside that world I can truly understand what makes everything work together. The use of space, architecture and movement flow is the kind of purpose that drives my creative process.
I am an honest, fun and lively coworker that enjoy sharing and exchanging with my peers. I love to face challenges and competition. I am perpetually working on improving my creative output.
