INFO

I began my career 20 years ago as 2D artist in a small studio based in the south of France. Passionate about storytelling, traditional animation and seeking new challenges, I moved to Paris and discovered 3D animation. I got involved in several amazing and creative projects, immersed among renowned artists, I improved my skills and creativity as modeler, animator, visual development and texture artist. Thanks to this wide range of challenges and experiences , I specialized on developing CG characters and all kind of creatures for feature film, TV show and VFX with special attention on aspects such as modeling, facial shapes and (re)Topology in order to make them alive. Still fond of my job, I wish to take up new challenges and improve my skills in both the artistic and technical fields in order to reach the finest achievements.
