Summary

My name is Alexandre and I’m a freelance Concept Designer.
I started my career into the french VFX advertising and game trailers industry as Hard Surface modeler and environment artist.

With more than 7 years working with studios like Blur, Unit Image, Fortiche, Capsule-Studio and many others.
On licenses like, Love Death & Robots, Star Wars The Old Republic, League of Legend, The Surge.
I always developed my fascination for futuristic, industrial designs and technologies, the encounter of innovation, functionality dedicated to visionary ideas. This is how I kept developing my universe with projects like “Hexodeus” a fictional luxury brand made for explorers. This fascination for design, innovation and science fiction allow me to feed my inspiration every day to imagine every sort of design living in the world of tomorrow.
