I spent my childhood reading and drawing in Madagascar’s wilderness, allowing myself to develop an inquisitive and adventurous nature. This atypical life journey pushed me to develop a strong ethical, social and ecological sensibility. I am very attached to manual skills and delicate work.
Presently
working as a creative consultant, I am extremely passionate about my field : using a sharp curious mind, I love to keep up to date with trends, art and even wider current happenings or events. I then infuse all these influences into meaningful creation. My purpose is to work alongside creative directors and avant-garde designers, using my expertise to accompany them bringing their vision to life. I always intend to push further known visual and technical limitations and explore creation through challenges and innovations.
