Hi, I’m Ziggy

Game Producer

Managing projects from A to Z is what I enjoy doing most. When applicable, I assist in the entire pipeline whether it is a AAA, AA, or a serious game. I will always try to take on some kind of leadership role in any kind of environment. There is this strong perseverance for learning new things and taking on challenges inside of me, where I sometimes have to stop myself since I can be quite the perfectionist.

When I am not creating games, you will either find me inside or outside, all depending on Belgium's most famous weather. Going abroad, hikes, museum visits, hitting the gym, road trips, reading about philosophy, etc. You name it, I am in!

While I am currently located in Belgium, I am willing to relocate to a compelling opportunity.
