Co-founding Young Early Starters
In November 2025 I co-founded Young Early Starters with Bart Vanhaeren and Mathieu Hardy. I shape the product and the art direction, and build its adventure worlds and characters with an AI-powered workflow.

The idea
Young Early Starters is the company I co-founded in November 2025 with Bart Vanhaeren and Mathieu Hardy.

How it is made
Every world starts as a story, not a prompt. I sketch the idea, generate and iterate with AI tools, then art-direct every frame by hand so the result feels designed, not generated.
- Worlds: from rough mood to explorable scenes in days instead of months
- Characters: one consistent cast across every world and format
- Product: the same workflow takes ideas to clickable prototypes
