AAA GAMES
I started my career as a Project Coordinator on Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle (2017, Nintendo Switch). I worked on the project for 5 years, at Ubisoft Paris & Ubisoft Milan.
On the game's DLC, Donkey Kong Adventure (2018), I got the opportunity to transition towards technical work, assisting the Narrative Director in creating the game's cutscenes in the Snowdrop engine.
I was then hired at Guerrilla (Amsterdam) as a Conversations Designer. As part of the Cinematics team on Horizon Forbbiden West (2022), I worked on mocapping & assembling the game's 16 hours of branching conversations in the Decima engine.
I was promoted to Senior Technical Cinematics Designer during development of the game's DLC, The Burning Shores (2023).
On Guerrilla's next project, Horizon: Hunters Gathering (TBA), my role evolved towards technical problem-solving & the development of tools to automate cinematic pipelines.
