Hi, I'm Hubert Cance. I was born in 1962 to a family of artists, and I spent many years exploring art and history. I began my career as a freelance pattern maker for scale-model firms around the world, starting in France and later Ireland, which gave me a broad perspective on craft and design. Back in France, I gradually shifted my focus toward writing articles and creating artwork, a path that now takes up most of my time. I love translating ideas into visuals and words that connect with people.
