About me

 
Hello,
I’m a graphic designer and an illustrator. I am from France where I studied in Paris at the ESAG-Penninghen, school of art and graphic design. I completed my studies with a bachelor in Fine Arts at La Sorbonne. In Paris, I worked as a graphic designer, photographer and an illustrator for 8 years. I was also an art instructor for 3 years in drawing, painting and illustration (art workshop and private lessons).
I moved to San Francisco and now I develop new creations, especially illustrations for children books.
