Apelab
I worked at Apelab, a company based in Geneva and the United States, as a Game Artist 2D/3D from 2015 to 2017. Specialized in creating narrative-focused content for VR and AR devices, the company allowed me to contribute to projects ranging from magical VR games to AR applications, in collaboration with Google. My role encompassed a variety of creative tasks, from concept art to character design to 3D modeling. Even after the formal end of my position at Apelab, our collaboration continued for several years.
In 2020, the company evolved to become Zoe Immersive.

As humanity seems to have lost its way, the angry and depressed spirits shut down the doors to their realm for good. But as time passes by, the world of spirits is slowly degrading and is about to die.
Members of an ancient human tribe team up together to open the doors to the ancient world and save the dying spirits and their sacred world.
