Who am I ?

Born in 1973 in Montpellier France. Had a B.A.C (French degree) in math and philosophy, during which I was mostly windsurfing and partying wit my best friends amongst the "villains".
Thanks to my mom (she thought I should try drawing as a living), I went to study industrial design at 18 at the European Design Institute of Toulon France with Barontieri that I met there.
I spent 3 amazing years there, where I learned a lot from incredible teachers that will always stay in my memory (Hi Gaston )... And where I made friends I will never forget (red wine and French cheese nights...).
There I learned how to draw, design, analyze, how to use different materials and their composition (at which I was very bad) and got better at drawing thanks to math and physics lessons :) . Renault as a trainee turned me down since I was too bad (which now, looking at the past I definitely was, live and learn they say) even though I still love cars and draw them from time to time.
Those 3 years gave me a degree in industrial design as well as a will to go everywhere! 
From there I went to Holland at the art institute of Maastricht, where I passed a bachelor of art in Interior architecture (hey Craig and Jean and the others, where are you???).
From Maastricht I went to Paris thanks to a friend (Thierry) who gave me the possibility to work in the game industry in a company called Cryo, which was hell but where I met a lot of very talented people and learned a lot. Thanks for everything Thierry, Sidonie, Dario and all the others...

Which is when I finally found Acclaim, in Austin, which I am working for since 1999/2000 doing a great job with a great team (hi to all the fancy pants).
