Damien  Fournet

Creative Direction and UX for games
Picture
With some 20+ cumulative years of experience in digital arts, I had occasions to participate in independent filmed and animated projects, worked in big and small game studios, and explored disciplines ranging from marketing to 3D architectural visualization.


Digital entertainment, and especially designing for video games, has always been central to my passions and career, adapting to a variety of themes, styles or techniques throughout the years.

My involvement in projects has always gone beyond visual design, as I love working with game designers and programmers to deliver satisfying User Experiences, and convey the right feeling to players.
