Description

Illustrator and art director with 15 years of experience in animation, architecture, and scenography.

I have collaborated with Folimage, Van Cleef & Arpels, Canal+, and architectural firms (Coco, Texus).

👉 My specialties:

Sets and art direction for films, series, and commercials (e.g., Ana Filoute, Les Cahiers d’Esther).

Heritage illustration and scenography for museums, abbeys, and local authorities (Abbaye de Noirlac, Royan Tourist Office).

I also work with heritage architects (Coco architects and Texus architects).

Production of short films and visual content (2D animation, watercolor, digital).

I work in both traditional watercolor and digital media (Photoshop, Toon Boom, TVPaint, Blender).

Versatile, creative, and rigorous, I offer tailor-made visuals that combine artistic excellence and narrative clarity.

📍 Based in Drôme, mobile – open to projects in France & internationally.
