Hi :)
I am a french Environment Artist / Texture & Material Artist with 5+ years of experience in game production and architecture, specializing in real-time materials, shader development, environment modelling, and pipeline optimization. Strong background in texture and material creation across both realistic and stylized art styles.

Experienced with Unreal Engine, Substance Designer and Painter, Blender, 3DsMax, ZBrush and Gaea. Additional experience in cloth creation with Marvelous Designer.

Skilled in technical problem solving, optimization, debugging, and cross-disciplinary collaboration between art and engineering teams. Passionate about building efficient production workflows, enhancing visual quality, and driving technical innovation across game development pipelines.

On the side, I also teach Substance Designer and Environment Art in Unreal Engine to 3rd to 5th year students at Gaming Campus Lyon & YNOV Campus.

Open to new opportunities :)
