Summary
Carried by solid artistic studies in Applied arts and art crafts, I am keen to highlight this journey in all aspects of my professional career.
The value of image and its construction and elaboration, is a foundation of my way of working.
Accomplished professional with expertise in mapping/texturing, Substance Painter, and Maya are the best actual tool for me to deliver my skills.
Demonstrated proficiency in surfacing sets and props, UVs, and modelling sets/props, I am committed to delivering high-quality work and continuously improving technical skills.
I also had the opportunity to make a short film "Fly Hard", in the world of the Migration movie, which was the most perfect and passionate way to discover more deeply the making of a film, the development of its image and the functioning of a movie production.
With each project, I have the chance to discover new ways of working, of learning and It's exciting and very motivating to be able to renew myself this way.
