Description

My name is Alexia. And my job is to be a game designer in the communication sector.

It might seem a bit abstract, but in reality, it's quite simple: I create games.

I think them up, imagine them, design them, produce them, according to the expectations, needs, and objectives of my clients.

Basically, a client comes to me saying they have a communication problem, regardless of their industry, and they would like to use games to solve it.

> A team cohesion problem? We will imagine a game that allows us to unite employees around the company's values, whether in person or remotely.

> Need to energize an event? Why not design a game that will break the ice and create surprise.

> Need to modernize training? Learning happens without realizing it when using cleverly designed games.

> Need to raise awareness about environmental, societal, or other issues? There's nothing better for accelerating awareness and change than games! Games leverage natural and simple human dispositions: we enjoy playing, and it's one of the most effective ways to learn.

> Need to onboard new employees in an original way? Go from "new" to "familiar" in moments with games that create attachment and foster a strong sense of belonging.

I don't know if it shows, but I am a strong believer in the value of games as a communication tool, and when you think about it, even unintentionally, gamification is everywhere.

My other specialty, which is intrinsically linked to the first, is training and coaching in game design. I have developed an entire training program for companies that wish to create their own games.
