personal info
"I am passionate in what I do and I am always up for the creative and design challenge."

I am not a fan of monotony and templates for use on multiple projects. I like working on new and different projects. I find the constant and different challenges appealing and exciting and these challenges drives me to be as creative as I can.

I am also massive Anime geek and I love Japanese and French Illustrations. I love collecting desk sculptures and action-figures from Gundam Robot Model Kit to Desk Sculptures based on Anime Films or TV Series.

I have an infinite list of "personal projects" that ranges from basic doodling to Digital Illustrations and 3D Models that I work on whenever I get a spare time.
