Thanks to my generalist background, I have acquired solid skills in 3D production, editing, team organization, and project management, which allows me to support projects in their entirety.
Self-taught in video editing since I was 9 years old, I have developed real expertise in this field, which I have reinforced with my studies (storyboarding, image composition, color grading, visual storytelling).

I use professional software such as Houdini, Unreal Engine 5, Maya, Blender, Nuke, Renderman, Solaris, Adobe Photoshop, Substance, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve...

Always attentive, responsive, and involved, I adapt to your needs with seriousness and passion.
