I was raised in a culture-rich environment thanks to my mother, a librarian, and my father, an engineer. Drawing became my passion early on, and I earned a BAC A3 in plastic arts before spending two years studying at the Fine Arts of Toulouse. I then followed my love for cartoons to the Émile Cohl School in Lyon to specialize in cartooning. My career took me from Grenoble to Paris and beyond, working as an animation designer, a stop-motion animator assistant, and a background artist on projects like Eclipse. I later joined Ubisoft Montreuil as a 3D animator and a video game animation supervisor for two years. Back in the South, I worked as a background designer and layout artist for Arles Animation, then moved into TV series with PraxinOS, Chloe Prod, BKN Studio and Lorcom Multimedia, making two 30-minute musical films, Peter and the Wolf and The Carnival of the Animals. I also created Trouble Fête, a 16-minute stop-motion short, with friends at RHINOFÉROS; and since 2010 I’ve been freelancing as an illustrator and director of short films, music videos and advertising for agencies in Arles and Avignon.
