Hey! I am a French Creative Director/3D Artist based in Sydney, Australia with over 15 years experience.
I graduated from the French animation school ESMA - Montpellier in 2011 and co-directed the short movie Electroshock that has now more than 10 millions views on YouTube!
I have leading experience and specify in Lighting/Rendering/Look Development and Environment, and can accomplish most tasks a CG Artist can be asked for. I have a real love for environment and architecture, as well as interior design. I am passionate about CG and always keep myself up to date on the latest techniques and workflows such as PBR Workflow and Color Management, to be on top of my game at all times.
After having spent 6 years leading most of the projects I’ve worked on at The Mill - London, which I join straight after graduation, I had the chance to go to Sydney, Australia and join the amazing team of Iloura/Method Sydney to work on some top level blockbusters. From then, I went on to work at Buck Sydney for 2 years, and moved on to a Creative Director role at Unlisted Melbourne, where I had the chance to direct and work on some amazing projects such as the FIFA WWC23 Mascot trailer and Sonic 2 Echidna's Origin sequence.
I enjoy having the opportunity to take a project to the next level and deliver beautiful and appealing images, while making my team feel as comfortable and efficient as possible, so they can produce the best work.

When I'm not busy working on personal projects, I like to play music and do DIY and woodworking.
I used to play guitar in a bluegrass band called Sweet Sally in the Alley, with whom I played all around the UK for festivals or weddings. I also used to play bass in a Busted tribute band called Dusted - A Tribute to Busted, where I was playing Matt Willis.
The rest of the time, I am building wood signs from reclaimed pallet boards, which we then sell on Etsy in our shop called Salter Creek Designs. We do all sorts of custom wood signs, crates, barrels and any kind of furniture we can think of!
I love good food and BBQ, and I go surfing with friends whenever I get a chance!
