Testimonials:
“I recommend Michel for his commitment, kindness, and work ethic. Throughout a challenging production, Michel was always available and proactive. He proposed constructive solutions and even though we were working remotely, he made sure not to stay away. He has great attention to detail, a real passion for writing, and a keen knowledge of the language. He is also someone who listens and accepts criticism to move forward together. These are qualities guaranteed to help him grow.” – Aurelie Ludot, Game Producer at Frogwares
