Uncommon profiles can be unsettling…
As far as I’m concerned, I have never unsettled anyone, well maybe once… or twice.
As a former translator, my passion for languages lead me to computers and visual communication. A passion for images and sound of course. Well, too much TV also, I guess.
It went along with a taste in classic litterature (Spider-man, Batman, Gaston Lagaffe) at a very young age.
And as i was applying for a carrer as a space pirate or a masked vigilante it was also a logical move to study languages to become a graphic designer.
I have been a graphic designer for 20 years. It all started with the internet. I wanted to be part of it and to create for it. So, that’s what I did.
I became a Web Designer, by the time this term was born. And then I created my own web agency. We created web sites, web apps when even smartphones did not exist, beautifully crafted interfaces, always with the user’s experience in mind.
From there I grew my digital skills to stage and live visuals for concerts, theatre and events. I also created animations and visual effects for movies, and music videos.
As passionate about my work as I was, I had to share this passion. So I became a teacher and trainer in art school, showing the path to the next generation of graphic designers and art directors.
I continue my journey, creating and still learning, with unaltered passion and curiosity.
