Background
Always drawing and writing, I have also always been set on traveling the world. This led me to studying foreign languages and civilizations, international business, and - ultimately - marketing. As this combination of skills was very prized by start-ups, I would wear several caps throughout my first school-mandated internships, from sales manager to web designer, along with translator, redactor, graphic designer, illustrator and event manager.
Upon graduating my Master's Degree in International Business, I moved to Paris where I worked in the Events and Hospitality industries as an account manager - while working freelance as a creative for companies I had interned with. A few years later, I moved to Los Angeles and became the marketing manager of an international service provider for the entertainment industry in Burbank, the media capital of the world. In agreement with the company, I switched to working for them as a contractor when their structure was changing and have kept working for them from times to times ever since.
As of August 2024, I am currently focused on building a website for a French publishing house, designing a logo for an energy healer and illustrating children books written by popular French musical artists, comedians and influencers.
