about me

Video games have always been a part of my life. I grew up playing my treasured Nintendo system. This nerdy hobby ignited an unquenchable passion. I started seeking information to get a better understanding of the development of video games. It is that early interest that led me to VFS 30 years later. 

However, long before level design I studied music for 9 years, specifically the violin, drums and singing. My musical background has allowed me to appreciate what a significant role sound can play in life, in fiction and of course video games.  

Over time, I started gravitating towards games with more intricate scripts. I have always had an incredible love for storytelling. I realised early the kind of power that creating compelling content and providing context can have in stories. That's what pushed me to attend the IAD (The Art of Broadcasting Institute) in Brussels. 

My time at IAD empowered me to tell stories through pictures. I learned to convey the right emotion to the audience by manipulating flow, pacing and audio, and through an attentive devotion to the optimal viewer experience. 

Today it seems that I can define myself with some distincts adjectives. I like to think myself as quirky. Always questioning the world and my surroundings, trying to find some deeper meaning in everything in order to get a better sense of life.

In all honesty, life hasn’t always been easy but I have been able to draw strength from my difficult experiences and upbringing making me the man I am today. I listen to my emotions and use them in my creations. I always try to better myself, seeking to explore new horizons, hungry to learn more everyday, eager to experience unique moments in life.

A pinch of melancholy colours my soul and fuels my love for blues and jazz. I especially enjoy listening to some Nat King Cole or Roberta Flack reading a design magazine with a glass of Lagavulin, simply to meditate or to explore our beautiful nature.

Photography is another passion of mine. My camera helps me capture the world we live in and every image tells a story. Things in life are fleeting but pictures make the moment live on forever.

My passion for music, movies, shapes, architecture, art, philosophy and photography has influenced my perception of the world and has made me a better level designer. As life goes on, new passions come to life and I am really much so into badminton and chess nowadays, with a side ambition to learn massage therapy.
