Visionary Leader | Creative Mind | Design Thinker | Technical Innovator

I am Dao R. Champagne, a multifaceted professional with a rich background in IT, art, design, and multimedia, and a deep passion for the video game industry and artificial intelligence. Over the past 15 years, I've been honing my skills as a Creative Director, currently wearing multiple hats at 3Mind Games, where I serve as Creative and Narrative Director, and Project Manager for R&D projects. My dual nature—balancing creativity with technical prowess—enables me to design groundbreaking technologies, as well as immersive narrative and innovative interactive experiences.

My career began in 1997 as an IT technician and evolved rapidly when I joined Ubisoft in 2000. At Ubisoft, I progressed from a tester to a marketing artist and level designer, contributing to renowned franchises such as Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, Rainbow Six, Far Cry, and more. I also had the chance to work on the publishing side of the MechWarrior franchise. In 2010, I co-founded 3Mind Games, where I've been instrumental in developing titles like The Protagonist: EX-1, and the acclaimed prototype Shadow's Light: Tale of the Champions.

I hold PMI certifications in Agile and predictive project management and an ASP in business startup. My education as a Multimedia Technician and Computer Graphics Artist, along with a specialization in Level Design and 3D from NAD-UQAC, has equipped me with the skills to lead and innovate in the digital content creation space. My contributions to the digital media industry have been acknowledged with honorary memberships in the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and the Visual Effects Society (VES). I am an avid supporter of cutting-edge technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence and Unreal Engine, which I've championed since its inception.
