With 15 years of experience in 2D and 3D graphic creation in agencies and as a freelancer, I have the necessary skills to cover the entire real-time 3D creation pipeline: programming and shading in UE5, creation and animation of 3D assets in Blender and Substance.

I have a strong work ethic and am uncompromising on the quality of my services, delivery times, and adherence to client requests.

I started as a Graphic Designer and Web Designer at Publicis in 2009, where I worked for major clients such as IBM, Nestlé, Yves Saint Laurent, Sixt, etc. I then evolved into Motion Design in 2011, producing an average of 4 animations per day for Showroom Privé sales. I then created my own company in 2013, Rezgi.com, where I worked as a contractor for agencies such as Havas, Super Bien, Spectre Lab, Fullsix, etc. I carried out numerous missions:

- Event and 3D mapping: Google, Wax Tailor, Peugeot (PSA), Blizzard...

- Marketing and advertising: Marques Avenue, Air Liquide, Guerlain, Volvo, RATP, SFR...

- Internal and institutional communication: Les Chalets, Enova, SCOP BTP...

- UI/UX: M.O.A (Alain Damasio), Alpine, Marine Nationale, Ellie Top, Berner...

In 2018, I decided to evolve my skills towards real-time production and trained in programming, shading, and the 3D pipeline. These skills, at the crossroads of design and technology, have been benefiting my clients ever since.
