Interests
My admiration for arts started in my early ages. I always felt a pronounced interest for drawing, animation films and video games. As the years passed by, my admiration became a passion for design. More precisely, for the different components of “experience design”. I frequently attend exhibitions in Montreal, specially if it’s about painting, photography, architecture, design or interactive installations. I have the need to constantly stimulate my neurons with this type of content. I am a big admirer of independent cinema and video games. I like cooking, swimming every day, I admire exploration, love airports and travel, outdoor activities and I’m an early riser who tries to make the most of his time.

Cover letter:
As I mentioned, I followed a diverse academic path, combining disciplines such as human sciences, plastic arts and interior design. This long process ended by a recent acquirement of a bachelor degree in Industrial Design from the University of Montreal which allowed me to gain the expertise and the necessary knowledge to exert all the tasks associated to the post.
During my last academic year, I focused on video game design and it was collaboration with “UBISOFT” that I developed my final project about an avant-garde video game called “SOR“.
I perfectly master Maya, Zbrush, Mental Ray and Photoshop environment. I have been working with most of these tools for more than 6 years now.
I am presently working with a great team at Cyanide Montreal on an upcoming next generation game.
I am an innovative team player and am constantly trying to push my creative boundaries. I hope to find my place within your company, to contribute in its evolution.
I also hope to revisit more accurately my skills and proficiency during an interview with you.
