I am a 2D animator and director with a focus on expressive, emotion-driven storytelling. Trained at Émile Cohl in France, I have developed experience in both digital and traditional techniques, including character animation, compositing, and mixed media workflows. I also completed a six-month internship at Folimage, where I worked on studio productions in a collaborative pipeline. I am comfortable adapting to established visual styles, working remotely, and bringing characters to life through nuanced acting, with a particular attention to rhythm, subtle emotion, and clarity of movement.

    It is a 2D animation movie made using charcoal and 2D traditional techniques.
    Here is the synopsis : In the vastness of Siberia, a young bear cub discovers the world with wonder. His path crosses that of a solitary hunter, initially driven by fear and anger. From this unexpected encounter emerges a fragile, wordless bond, as two opposing beings learn to recognize one another and coexist.
