Léo Noël | My Portfolio
Hi my name is Léo Noël. I'm a year old french game designer
I studied Game Design for 3 years at Isart Digital (Paris). Then I worked on several project, as much as an indie, or in little structures, than bigger ones like Quantic Dreams or KTM Advance.
Video game enthusiast, I see this medium as a new and amazing way to create strong and emotional focused experiences.
Polyvalent, meticulous and fast learner, I have strong analytics skills that I use to have strong and deep understanding of game design and development problematics.
Curious about everything, I have thirst of knowledge and like to learn, understand and discover new things (science, history, video games, films, music, literature).
