Recommandations
Friday 24th July
2020
To Whom it may concern,
Dimitri Giacoletto joined Ubisoft Annecy as a Level Designer for a
short-term contract in April 2019. His mission was to handle the layout and
scripting of The Division 2 expansion content as well as Raid2. He also
recently worked on a new unannounced game as a Level Designer. He worked in
collaboration with other departments such as Level Artists, Narrative Designer,
Animators and other Level Designers on these projects.
I am Lead Level Designer on the project and Dimitri worked in my team
during one year and a half. Dimitri delivered quality work on the parts of game
he had ownership on, in both layout and visual-scripting. He showed good skills
in communication with other departments on The Division 2 and was particularly
paying attention to imply everyone that could be impacted by his work. Dimitri
is also a creative profile who doesn’t hesitate to share his opinion and brings
interesting ideas on the project he works on. I appreciated a lot the positive
and constructive mindset of Dimitri in LD team, he is a team member who accepts
and reacts on feedbacks to reach his objectives.
Unfortunately, we don’t have the possibility to propose a long-term
contract to Dimitri in Ubisoft Annecy. Though, I think Dimitri will be a good
addition in a LD team thanks to the skills mentioned above, and thanks to the
experience he gained in Ubisoft Annecy.
Sincerely,
Julien Jourdain
