I am a Digital Artist with 24 years experience in the video game industry, having contributed to multiple AAA games.
My latest position is Art Director in EA SPORTS WRC.

My career began as an environment artist, where my keen eye for detail and interest in technical game development allowed me to progress through roles with increasing responsibilities until culminating in my current position as Art Director.

I actively contribute to defining, maintaining and developing the artistic vision combining it with the technical requirements. I have held numerous Technical Art positions, demonstrating a passion for learning new software tools and coding languages. I consistently integrate my artistic and technical skills to develop innovative pipelines, shaders, materials and techniques enhancing both visual quality and production efficiency.

I am dedicated to overseeing the art creation and integration processes, mentoring artists, providing constructive feedback, and leading by example. I possess the ability to both maintain a strategic overview and engage directly in asset creation, ensuring the art team prioritizes effectively to achieve the best results.

One of my key responsibilities across many projects has been developing and implementing real-time lighting pipelines that enhance environments and gameplay while maintaining performance efficiency.

My strong expertise in both art and technical areas allow me to work as a link between code, art and technical art, facilitating the development of effective solutions for various challenges.

I recognize the importance of balancing the effort required with the impact achieved. My experience enables me to differentiate between critical and incidental elements, which helps me in planning tasks and timelines.

I enthusiastically share and promote the game’s art direction with marketing and other partners making sure that the spirit and quality of the game is captured to the fullest.
