About

Hi, I’m Xavier Sailliol, a passionate 2D animator and director with years of experience working on exciting projects including video games, animation series, and shorts. I love teaching and sharing my knowledge with students at renowned schools like Gobelins and EMCA. My journey has taken me from animation intern roles to directing trailers and spots, always pushing creativity and quality.

When I’m not animating, I enjoy improvisation theater and various outdoor sports like skateboarding and snowboarding. I also play guitar and harmonica and love traveling to diverse places across the globe. Looking forward to creating inspiring and engaging visual stories!
