I hold a DEC in cinema arts and a Bachelor’s degree in animation cinema, with strong proficiency in TVPaint, Harmony, Nuke, Maya, and Final Cut/Adobe Creative Suite. I’m fluent in French with solid English and Italian skills, and I thrive in creative environments that mix storytelling, design and technical craft.
