Great opportunity to jump into a new start-up aiming to offer Web3 interoperability in games.
- We aim to create Web3 game experiences with our community, for this we create a platform.
- Work on a whole new, consistent looking, universe where our future action happens.
- Hands on, doing what I love, explore and define the artistic direction of our game.
- Coordinate external outsource and internal art.
- Responsible for all art and brand related in general.
- Explore game styles, tech challenges and various game formats.

-Guiding and overseeing the production of all art created by outsource and co-development partners for multiple products.
-Develop and maintain long-term positive relationships with both co-development studios and outsource partners, ensuring everyone is working towards the same goals.
-Giving direction by creating detailed briefs, style guides and additional documentation to clearly communicate requirements to external partners, providing comprehensive and actionable feedback and signing off on final assets.

--Amazing opportunity, replace the Art director(on maternity leave), and lead a team of 4-5 artists and an art outsourcing studio supporting the live game ''Love Island''.
-Keeping an eye on one external partner studio working on a new separate title.
-Taking care of normal releases checks, sprint plannings and all the day to day processes an art department needs to have.
-Maintain organised plans, documents, and systems for tracking asset delivery throughout production to maintain clear visibility on the status of all work.
-Represent the art team in relation with other departments.
-Create or assist with style-guide and in general trying to be proactive and help the art team move in the right direction.
-Leverage my artistic skills to help others grow and company products scale.

-Huge leap of faith and much needed fresh breath of  air  to be the 3th hired person in a gamingstart up. 
-Since November 2019 I've been working on 4 titles, doing rapid prototype on different games. One game went Live on both platforms and is having +4.5 reviews. 

-The teams here are 3-4 people with one artist so I'm responsible for Art direction, UI, 3D and anything else that is necessary to make the game look good.

-Create style guides and steered outsourcing companies, 4 projects in 1 year required lots of outsourcing.  

-I love this unstructured team because solving problems/designing is very fast and collaboration is the jam holding together!

-As a member of this kind of teams I learned sometimes the best visual solutions can come from Developers.

Game art, UI and anything needed to support Live title ''Farm hero Super Saga'' .

- Farm hero Saga -1 year Support the Live operations with UI and art. 

Art Lead
-Farm hero Saga 2 -3 years, since May 2018 I’ve been the Art Lead. 

-That means representing art in cross department meetings, sprints planning and backlog building while keeping a closer eye on art consistency and quality.

- In King most of our work was UI/UX so I was part of the UI team in London participating in training and meeting. Live games need super polished UI and innovative new features.

 -Great opportunity to learn how to manage a live product and huge IP thanks to company training and transparency when leading the Farm 2.   
-Even thought I was responsible for the art team,  art deadlines, art planning and the art quality, on Farm 2, I never directly managed the artists(no 121’ or performance reviews) 
- Creative thinking and have initiatives by proposing concepts/prototypes for new game features. I especially work on UI features proposals in ProtoIO or AfterEffects.

-Maintain and create new style guides as necessary plus outsource partners feedback and guidance. 

-Build (Jenkins) > test >improve and again. This is what we constantly did in order to have a polished game. 

Projects I`ve been involved in:

-Total Conquest
- Brothers In Arms® 3: Sons of War
- Modern Combat 5: Blackout

- Character concept art, props design/sketches, environments and backgrounds.
- Game interface, menus and took care of overall game assets unitary look.

-I’ve been part of the studio Game prototype team and worked on fast releases. 
-Props rendering and implementation. 
-3D tweaks to models/ support 3D modellers with my ideas. 
-3DModels texturing and mapping. 

FUN LABS studio is an ACTIVISION publishing studio focusing on hunting games and i worked as 3D artist and later moved into 2D.

-I mainly did environment and animals  3D sculpts, baking, texture and model the low poly. But my role there also included working other projects where we did more diverse assets. 

- Love taking freelance from time to time and I used to do it full time for almost a year when the first company I worked for closed down...
