Freelance graphic designer and illustrator for almost 7 years, I learned to manage and overcome every constraint of a given project from the initial idea to the final stage (deadlines, communication with clients, technical difficulties and issues, etc.). Today, as a 3D artist with almost 10 years in such different fields as 3D animated productions, advertising and architecture, I have experimented all areas of this art (texturing, lighting and rendering, rigging, skinning and animation, particles, hair and special effects as well as compositing and video editing) my specialty remaining HD modeling. Open-minded, creative, curious and enthusiastic, I like to share knowledge and teamworking. This is the reason why I would like to join a creative and dynamic studio to discover new work horizons.
