Description

My background? A bit unusual...

I graduated from the CESAN School of Narrative Arts in Paris, where I completed a 2-year program that allowed me to switch careers to illustration and comic books after several years of corporate employment. I thus have a "dual skill" that proves very useful in managing my illustration projects!

My portfolio?

My areas of expertise? Varied...

I work for the publishing sector (notably for Hachette), corporate communications (Leroy Merlin, Société Générale, Théolex...), associations (Association des Conservatoires de France, Association Revivre dans le Monde, Fédération Française de Judo...), public institutions (Town Halls), or individuals.

I also develop editorial projects as an author-illustrator, and I publish comic books and press drawings on social media.

Whether using traditional media or a digital tablet (essentially Photoshop), I enjoy using all available means to serve visual storytelling.

My location? I live in the Yvelines, and I regularly enjoy the air of the Pyrenean mountains.

My hobbies? Quite eclectic...

When I'm not drawing, I play table tennis, piano, or juggle. I am also a fan of world music, particularly Chinese opera, and foreign languages.

I designed and illustrated several children's games to populate a digital game booklet, offered to young judokas on the federation's website. The goal was to bring the mascot ("Kodomo") created for the Tokyo 2021 Olympics to life, using the games to retell the mascot's narrative.
