How I Work
Listen to artists
I start by understanding where time is lost, which errors repeat, and what artists actually need during production.
Fit the existing pipeline
I prefer focused, maintainable solutions that integrate with current tools rather than forcing teams to rebuild their workflow.
Make failures understandable
Tools should validate early, report errors clearly and help artists recover without requiring constant technical assistance.
Document and support
A tool is only useful when artists can trust it, understand it and continue using it after its initial development.
About
I began my career in lighting and gradually moved toward technical art and pipeline work after repeatedly encountering production problems that could be solved through better tools and workflows.
This background helps me understand both sides of production: the visual goals artists are trying to achieve and the technical systems required to deliver them reliably.
I am particularly interested in artist-facing tools, lighting and rendering workflows, production automation and technical support.
Open to Studio Opportunities
I am currently looking for Technical Artist, Pipeline Artist or Technical Lighting positions in animation, VFX, games and real-time production.
Based in France.
Open to on-site, hybrid or remote opportunities depending on location.
