With the studio's closure, today marked my last day with the amazing folks at Elodie.

The culture this team built was nothing less than extraordinary and I hope our paths cross again in the future. I'll truly miss it.

If you're looking for a Senior Animator, please reach out!

With the Release of Hyper Light Breaker I can finally share my animation work! It was a great experience working with the team @heartmachine.bsky.social. Looking forward to seeing what they cook up during the early access period.

It's been difficult to find the composure to post about this, but after three years I am now looking for work as I was also laid off from @heartmachine.bsky.social. I want to give a big thanks to the team for the opportunity to work on two incredible games. Wishing them the best!
