I'm a comic artist, capable of both writing and illustrating comic books. I'm also quite skillful when it comes to visual storytelling, storyboards and concept art. My writing style is chiefly focused on biography and documentary, which empowers me to be a great ghost writer as well. My educational background is in painting and visual arts. Early on, I started my career as a painter and later on, I became an editorial cartoonist for various magazines and press. I have two published graphic novels (and an upcoming third one) with "Éditions çà et là" (Paris, France). * Knows drawing by hand as well as water colour, acrylic and oil painting techniques * Knows Digital paint, Photoshop, Procreate

Hello! I’m a multidisciplinary creative with a passion for bringing stories, voices, and visuals to life. Here’s a snapshot of what I do best: Video Editing I have several years of experience editing videos for clients, transforming raw footage into engaging, polished content. My work includes YouTube videos, testimonials, product ads, music videos, and more. I focus on pacing, storytelling, and visual flow to create videos people enjoy watching. Illustration I specialize in digital illustration with a dreamy, magical style that invites curiosity and emotion. My work often focuses on expressive characters and atmospheric scenes that feel warm, imaginative, and story-driven. A strong example of this style can be seen in my children’s book series, Spiral Fairy Tales. Graphic Design Graphic design is a core part of my creative practice. I create visually compelling, cohesive designs that communicate clearly and support a brand’s identity across both print and digital formats. From layout and typography to illustration-driven assets, I focus on balance, readability, and visual impact. Every piece is crafted with intention, ensuring the final result feels polished, consistent, and aligned with the project’s goals. Website Design & Build Website building is one of my strongest creative skill sets. I design and build visually engaging, user-friendly websites that balance aesthetics with functionality, whether the goal is storytelling, brand presence, or conversion. I’m comfortable creating layouts, structuring content, and refining the user experience to ensure each site feels intuitive and polished. With a strong understanding of design principles and practical implementation, I deliver websites that are clean, cohesive, and ready to launch. When I take on a project, I invest time in understanding its tone, purpose, and personality. I care deeply about capturing the feel of what you’re trying to create—not just completing a task. I bring focus, creativity, and dedication to every piece of work, and I don’t consider a project finished until it truly feels right. Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. If you’d like to learn more or discuss a project, feel free to send me a message or visit my website. Have a wonderful day 😊
