Even if I'm not usually into WebGL-only websites, what Bruno did with his portfolio is completely beyond belief. Everything is so creative and playful, but at the same time rigorous and well organized, making the whole experience immersive and overwhelming. Also, the first time I saw it I spent like 10 minutes just smashing walls and playing bowling even before getting to see the actual work list!

Fabio Carretti

A good creative developer knows the tools to build something, but a great one goes beyond and understands all the different challenges to craft a masterpiece for everyone to remember. Bruno Simon's work is the perfect example of this balance between creativity and technicality.

I voted for MA True Cannabis because of its delightful experience. The animations are very exciting, and combined with vibrant colors the website conveys a really playful atmosphere. Thoughtful micro-interactions and the performance of the website are also incredible. E-commerce site of the year award is well deserved!

Marlene Giraud

It’s the gorgeous product photography, playful interaction and seamless basket to checkout experience which makes this site a unique and worthy awwwards winner.

Valentin Cervellera

All of their cards are on the table, with this interactive display of a WebGL-powered deck of 54 cards illustrating web design. A very performant and innovative example of what drag gestures can bring to the web, and a brilliant execution of the smooth, performant and playful experience you can provide to something as simple as a deck of cards.

His particular way of working, a raw WebGL workflow, frees him of the constraints of frameworks and traditional libraries, making way for animations of great fluidity and an authentic style that, without meaning to, has created a trend.
