Work History
  • Art Director

    Gameloft

    June 2014 - May 2016
    Montreal, Canada Area

    Art Director on Siegefall a Free to Play massive online strategy game on Android, and IOS platforms released July 11, 2015 with a 4.2/5 rating.

    Managed a team of 22 artists with leads. This team is further
    broken down into a team of 12 in-game asset artists, 8 cinematic artists,
    and 2 user interface artists. All are super talented and make my job a
    breeze. With screenshots of their current work I paint over and do
    modifications in front of them, discussing the changes as I paint so there are no communication errors.
    Together with the producer I manage the level of art quality with budget and time
    constraints. Through daily scrums and Jira software I make sure we have a consistent art style and reach all milestones set out.
