My Philosophy

Hello ! I’m a digital artist with VFX experience as Generalist TD, Lighting TD, Lead Lighting TD & Look Development TD on a large range of productions from TV Shows to Feature Films, in Award-Winning VFX Studios. I obtained my Master degree (RNCP level 7) in Computed graphics at ESMA in 2014.

I consider myself as a CG generalist with an expert level in Photography, Lighting, Look Development & Rendering. Thanks to my several studios experience I have honed my skills in numerous production environments and have worked with most software and renderers used these days.

I am motivated, creative, organized, autonomous and most importantly, I’m adaptive. Learning new tools, pipelines, workflows or techniques was never a problem – I actually love it. Anything new to me is a new challenge, so when I learn something, I try to apply it to my work immediately, master it and develop on it. I am able to very quickly and easily adapt to the different workflows and pipelines a company may have.

My knowledge of all stages of the production allows me to communicate efficiently with others and to contribute successfully to the visual effects process.

I believe that I have a strong ethic. I’m a team player, who absorb, understand and consider all ideas and points of view from others. I am always willing to share information & knowledge and I believe good communication & a fun environment is the best way to craft meaningful emotion in art.

I am able to work in Europe and Canada –
French Citizen and Canadian Open Work Permit
