Biography

Hi ! I’m a professional artist specialized in illustration and concept art for the animation and video game industries. With my studies and my freelance work, I've experienced many disciplines as a generalist artist. I worked on marketing illustrations, graphic designs, and small animated short films as an environment, props and character designer, a 2D background painter, as well as a 2D animator and an art director. With those projects, I’ve learned different workflows as well as the teamwork needed to bring 3D, 2D traditional and poppet animation, and stop-motion to terms. Through those experiences, I development great core and soft skills required to be a valuable vis-dev concept artist to a team. I’m currently a full time freelancer. I mostly do illustrations at the moment, however, my focus is to work in concept art for animated series and films, and also for video games. I like to design environments, props, storytelling illustrations and endearing characters, but most of all, I love to create magically contemplative and welcoming organic worlds that helps to inspire human connections worldwide. Therefore, my life and artwork are driven by the passion of creating, cozy moments and the beauty of nature. I’m constantly searching for new challenges and experiences in my willingness to learn and improve in life and in my artistic career. Therefore, I'm currently looking to collaborate with other passionate people by helping to bring more value to studios and their inspiring projects for the world. If you are looking for a motivated vis-dev concept artist feel free to reach out. I'll be happy to work with you and your team to create beautiful and meaningful artworks for your animations and/or video games.
