I started my career in the fashion industry as web designer and motion designer for famous brands. Then, after fifteen years, I decided to move in the video game industry because the possibilities of working with various artists interested me more.
Today, I am more involved in the production of video games and lead artistic teams to create more ambitious works.
Actually I work within Dotemu to create great games and I also direct fantastic clips with the Deezooit collective.
