Video games are, in my opinion, the most powerful form of storytelling.
Currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Game Design at CNAM-ENJMIN in Angoulême. Previously graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Game & Level Design from Sorbonne Paris University, UIT of Bobigny and a Higher National Diploma in Graphic Design at Saint Joseph les Maristes Highschool in Marseille.
I am actively looking for a position in the video game industry as a Game, Level or World Designer.

STORY-DRIVEN 3D WEB EXPLORATON
Real and virtual are intertwined. Like an endless deep maze we built that drowns the human psyche.
Your childhood friend Nova is dead. No trace of her in reality. However, while mourning in her apartment, you receive a message from her.
Fall down the rabbit hole and lose yourself in the meanders of her intimacy through reality and the internet. Dive into her troubles and loneliness in order to perhaps understand what led to her death. But, is she really?
Death of Internet is a solo, story driven, first person exploration game about identity construction, relationship, intimacy and our struggle to communicate. Explore 3D websites trough hyperlinks objects to understand the psyche of Nova through the virtual spaces she created.

OPEN WORLD SURREAL EXPLORATION
Close your eyes. It is through dreams, or any other altered state of consciousness, that some people describe a strange desert place that they have seen, heard, felt or even explored. These different testimonies, although they vary in their details, all relate with great precision an identical environment but above all, a huge tower that has obsessed them ever since.
Mirage is a first person exploration game in which you can create your own world map to orient yourself, with asynchronous local collaboration in an non-linear world.
