À propos de Thibaut

I help indie studios produce clean and efficient design documentation, so that they can communicate their vision and secure funding and grants.

With a degree from ESSEC Business School (Media & Digital Chair), I’ve collaborated with TF1, Ubisoft, and Big Monkey Entertainment, among others.

What I offer:

  • Game system design: original mechanics, gameplay/user‑experience balancing, concept prototyping;
  • Compelling Design Docs: structuring the creative vision, translating it into technical and narrative terms, producing clear, investor‑focused documentation (complete with financial pitch and market alignment);
  • Fundraising support: preparing polished materials to persuade investors, showcasing your USPs and ROI potential;
  • Creative process optimization: organizing documentation, implementing collaborative tools (Jira, Confluence), and managing feedback loops.

My distinctive strengths:

  • Knowledge of the business side of games: I've worked as a Project Analyst for Ubisoft, as a Strategic Analyst for TF1, the biggest TV network in France, and as a consultant for a consulting firm, the job of which was to secure public funding for small companies.
  • Creative & analytical expertise: combining innovative gameplay design (for Big Monkey Entertainment) with project rigor (Agile methodologies, staffing and financial monitoring at Ubisoft);
  • Results‑driven approach: treating Design Docs as strategic assets—for production and investor outreach alike—complete with English technical translation and integrated market data.

My promise:

  • Pitch‑ready deliverables: clear, visual and data‑driven documentation that reassures investors and accelerates fundraising;
  • “Player first & investor ready” mindset: engaging systems for gamers, backed by a solid commercial vision for your partners.

🚀 Ready to bring your game to life and win over investors? Let’s connect and turn your vision into a funded, unforgettable project.

    Academic coaching, for students in higher education (preparatory classes). I teach English and math, with a specialization in neurodivergents people's learning patterns.

    I believe that it is ultimately easiest to learn something when you derive enjoyment from it - preferably if said enjoyment stems from intrinsic motivations. I therefore strive to make my sessions enjoyable, which entails a lot of design thinking, and understanding of human psychology.
