“How did I get into animation industry? I followed my instincts and my mentors.
I had a rather atypical schooling and early career, complicated. I left the general course very early to orient myself towards studies in drawing and follow up on training in visual communication. It helped me get into the advertising business. Thanks to my parents, I was also able to follow a private school career, at Axe Sud. In 1998/99, I discovered 3D in one of the first Montpellier schools, Objectif 3D.
Instinctively, at that time, I was convinced that I would do something in this area.”
