I COME FROM A FAMILY OF ARTISTS WHERE FAMILY GATHERINGS OFTEN INVOLVE SKETCHBOOKS. 

My dad is an animator, my granddad was a cartoonist and apparently my great granddad drew machine parts for steam engines. My uncle is a cartoonist, my brother draws and animates… so does my cousin. And from the looks of it,  my kids are on track to be next in line.

After studying design at Parsons School of Design and l’École Supérieure d’Arts Graphiques in Paris, I began my career at Disney Feature Animation in California. Over time, my work expanded to include picture books and a range of collaborative projects. In the summer of 2024, I returned to Paris with my two kids, where you’ll often find me sketching in a café alongside my basset hound, Stanley.
