Esther FAYNOT - Portfolio
I'm a Level Designer with a deep passion for story-rich worlds and immersive, systemic levels.
I studied Game Design for five years at Supinfogame Rubika (Valenciennes), graduating with a Master's Degree in 2024. During these years I have specialized myself in Level Design with a secondary focus in Narrative Design. My goal is to work on narrative-driven games and help craft compelling levels and environments the player may enjoy and immerse themselves in.
I come from an artistic background, originally drawn to cinematography and photography. Skills like composition and lighting continue to shape the way I approach my work. My interests also expand into drawing, cartography, architecture and 3D modelling - skills I've learned on my own and aim to keep improving.
My love for art combined with my passion for level design and storytelling allows me to more easily communicate ideas with artists and writers, finding inovative ways to create meaningful, engaging and immersive levels.
I've lived in several countries around the world like China (Shanghai), Hong-Kong, The Philippines (Manila) and France (Valenciennes & Lyon), which has made me adaptable, open-minded and quick to learn.

Games
Some games that have marked me :
Gamer Motivation Profile (Quantic Foundry)
Bard
The type of games I enjoy the most are Action-Adventure / Infiltration / RPG and MMO games that tell a story.
I am the type of person that loves to be immersed in a world and learn about where I have landed. I can spend a really long time in character creation if the game has one.
I'm most drawn to dark fantasy / sci-fi, steampunk, cyberpunk worlds.
I like social games such as MMOs where I can make connections with other people but I also enjoy solo adventures, especially those where I can be the master of my choices.
