I have been a professional illustrator since 1999. I am also an illustration, character design and storyboard teacher. I have had many experiences in creative design companies but also as an interpreter, a band manager. I am versatile and I adapt quickly to new situations. I am rigorous, curious, organized and meet my deadlines. As I lived many years in the USA and Japan, I am fluent in those languages. It also helped me to have an open-mind.
