Who
I am a Freelance Illustrator and Game Artist working in the editorial and entertainment industry.
Attirée par le visuel depuis toujours, mes premiers pas dans cet univers se déroulent avec des cours de peinture et dessin dès l’âge de 8 ans. Jeune adulte, j’étudie à l’ERACOM et obtiens mon CFC de conceptrice en multimédia en 2009. A la suite d’un séjour linguistique à San Francisco et d’une première expérience professionnelle dans le graphisme en Suisse, mon intérêt pour la création d’images me ramène en Californie pour y étudier le Concept Art et consolider les fondamentaux de la peinture. Je passe 2 ans et demi à Los Angeles et Pasadena en suivant des cours à Gnomon, Concept Design Academy, Red Engine et LAAFA, où ma technique s’approfondit et se perfectionne.
After teaching Digital Painting classes for 3 years at Ceruleum, I am today a Freelance Illustrator and a part-time employee in Graphic Design and Illustration at Hybride Design. In addition to my professional work, I am also dedicated to my personal projects, I am a member of the association PBK9 with which I regularly exhibit my work and I am the co-founder and art director of Colorful Darkness, a 2D point and click video game.
