Text to speech flow   

Minecraft legend supports English TTS on its golden path and player to player communication, in accordance to Microsoft accessibility requirements.
I broke down sections on the game with similar screen structure and provided guideline on how best to narrate the screens for sight or reading impaired users. I researched best practices and defined with the dev team on technical compromises with the least impact on the player. It was challenging to build this retroactively, and this gave me insight on how to think about accessibility early on.

Front end UI/UX - Minecraft Legend   

Role: UX Designer, Implementation, UI
I worked about 2 years on Minecraft Legends, to support accessibility, cross platform play compliance, and DLC.
My primary design and prototyping tool was Figma. After the low fidelity mocks were approved, I worked in tandem with our 2 UI artists to produce high fidelity. The dev team then proceeded to implement the logic and I'd join their branch later on to update the CSS/React and reach the final look in engine.

Feature flow mapping - Party in my Dorm   

UI flow prototyped with Adobe XD Combination of wireframe and mock ups, used to test the overall flow of the "Rate my Room!" feature before further detailing. 2020

Mobile Game UI - Kingdoms at War   

Features never implemented as the project scaled down resources.
On the left, allow players to manage public chat channels: hide/show, order.
On the right, research to revamp player profile - internal and external - and allow for more personalization. I prototyped the navigation with proto.io.
Kingdom at War is an old mobile city builder/war game, text and interface heavy, created in 2009. There was multiple challenges to this project, such as a navigation different between the android and iOS projects, as well as a PC version at the time (support has been dropped since). The community is still very attached to the game, it was fun to design for them.

Mobile Game UI - Party in my Dorm   

UI for PIMD: Profile, Competition system, Timer speed up screen
In above example, the profile screen had been designed by the previous UI/UX Designer working on PIMD, but only implemented on Android Studio. I decided to learn to use XCode to update the profile on iOS and then proceeded to iterate changes on iOS and Android versions.
The second screenshot is a feature I designed, Extracurricular (or XC). This feature is based off the Competition backend service used for another ATA Game. We decided to add it to PIMD as it was a great way to deliver objectives and train Game Designers to a unify data system.
The third screenshot (on the left) is a smaller feature allowing players to speed up timer items (boxes or pet) using speed up items. The optimal quantity to use for a given speed up appears whenever the player presses Use 1.

Art project: fabric postcards   

The XX th century saw the birth and the death of the Vosgien Textile Industry. Today there are only empty spaces in the territory left. Like wounds in the Vosges' history. I chose to show only a kind of sweetness. The transience of those factories' existence which lasted less than a century. Melancholy remembrance of a bygone era – time of full employment, union struggle, growth, hope of better tomorrows. Memories are of course polished by time; « It was nice... But hard too. It wasn't like now ». Here begins the resilience process. Sand and grass have replaced those industrial areas. The postcards serve as a relay to collective memory. Photographs pass from hand to hand, drawings appeal to remember. These are thin, clumsy, close to be swept by the pattern. But finally, it doesn't evoke the Vosges only, it evokes our parents', great parents' or great great parents' history, as a collective family album.
A series of 17 fabric postcards with testimonies written on the back. The fabrics are originated from the factory in which my grandfather worked his whole life. I have drawn the factories using as reference photo-cards of the north-east of France.

Traveling live sketches   

I took the habit to sketch every time I take a transport in India. Bus, boat, train... I add the colors later on, with Photoshop. I hold a travelling blog to tell my adventures with text, sketches and photos. 2015

Color studies   

While I have always been drawing, 2010 was roughly the year I seriously got into digital artworks. It really took a leap forward after I started the "sessions": daily photo studies focused mostly on the colours. I must have done about 600 in the span of 3 years. I spend 15 minutes on each, and color pick afterward to understand where my analyse went wrong. I consider vital to perpetually study from nature and from photos.

Two pages of the comic book   

During the summer 2013, I drew a comic about energies. This work was a commissioned work from the House of Ecology in St Etienne (France). This is the 3rd book of the series.
I was given a text storyboard. The two males character design was already defined in the previous book.
I first scribled the storyboard on paper, then work the lineart on Gimp. I colored and added the texts on photoshop.

I am deeply inspired and moved by the temple culture in India; the old baths, the life around the staircases... I enjoyed playing with the perspective for this piece 2015

Enemy for Those Who Wander   

After deciding on a general idea, I sketch a lot. Once a few drawings seem to really work, I do a more precise render that will guide me for the 3D modeling.

Mood concept for Those who wander   

After the universe for TWW was put on paper, I made concept thumbnails, pushed some further into illustrations, using photo bashing to fast render the mood and feel of the game.

Gameview concept Those Who Wander   

This concept use as base the white boxing of our very first build. Since the game is in top view, this concept was the occasion to think how to use that very specific perspective to convey the mood, think the overall colors of the game and the shapes of the props. This comes after a lot of individual black and white sketches of props, at last colored and unified into a concept that guides us in our vision of the game.

Character design and mood for Those Who Wander   

Once the main character was sketched, I created a more detailed and developed environment that suits him and the game.

Animal planes   

Experimentation around bird/insects/planes shapes, using a 3D base rendered in Keyshot and painted over with photoshop.
