What I'm looking for

I am seeking a Senior Art Director or Art Manager role at a company passionate about innovative online casino and mobile social games, where I can lead teams, mentor artists, and deliver high-quality, commercially successful titles.

I am a Senior Art Director and Team Lead with over fifteen years in the iGaming industry, specializing in online casino slots and mobile social platforms. I have led multicultural art teams across Poland, Malta, Estonia, Spain and the UK to deliver over twenty-five titles on time, collaborating closely with artists, animators and development teams.

My career highlights include senior art leadership roles at Yggdrasil, Gamesys/Bally's and RAW iGroup, plus founding a studio focused on graphics and animation.
