I am pleased to recommend Timothé, with whom I had the pleasure of working for three years.
He is an exceptionally skilled level designer with a deep knowledge of games and a strong grasp of game theory in general.

What I really loved when working with Timothé, was his genuine respect for the work and input of artists, ensuring that his levels shine in both gameplay and visual appeal.

Working with him is a breeze; he is not only fast and efficient but also highly collaborative. He welcomes feedback with an open mind, always. And he provides valuable insights in return.

Above all, Timothé is a kind individual who truly cares about his work. I would jump at any opportunity to collaborate with him again.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Timothe on the same mission, as well as on separate ones, all within the same department and project Star Wars Outlaws. One thing I noticed pretty fast is that Timothe has a deep understanding of what makes a game fun and memorable, all combined with the drive to learn and passion for delivering the best content possible. He consistently pushes the design to make sure it has a memorable impact on the player experience.

Timothe is "design process organized" meaning that he's always seeking feedback and is quick to organize ad-hoc playtests to ensure that players understand and enjoy the content and help him improve as well. He’s also not afraid to challenge potential solutions in a thoughtful way, which shows how prepared and dedicated he is.

On top of that, Timothe is a humble and approachable colleague. He’s always up for a good catch-up conversation, whether it's work-related or about hiking trails or a cool travel spot nearby. Timothe is not just a skilled designer but also a great team player and collaborator, making him a fantastic colleague to have on any project.

I had the pleasure of working with Timothé on Star Wars Outlaws. Timothé is incredibly driven and proactive. Even as a junior he was already taking full ownership of his mandate and following up with other departments to get the most out of his content.

He's always looking for feedback, actively learning and continuously shares his learnings and tips with the team.

I hope we'll be able to work together again some day.

I had the pleasure to lead Timothe on two separate projects.

He managed to quickly onboard and build great content for multiple types of games even though they required quite different level design skills. He was very proactive in gathering playtest feedback and using it to improve his work.

I expect to see great things from Timothe in future and would highly recommend him.


January 5, 2024, William managed Timothé directly.
