STUDIES
With a general Bachelor, passed with the Lyçée Français Jean Monnet de Bruxelles, I've continued my higher education at the CAD brussels, with a first general year of communication & advertising, followed by two years in the specified field of advertising, design and illustration.
The aprenticeship allowed me to develop a good comprehension of the advertising field, as much on a marketing approach as on its creative aspect, and on design and art on a more global scheme.
Having started my career being an illustrator, layoutman for the different advertising agencies in brussels such as DDB or publicis, with which I had the opportunity to work with, these skills & comprehension of the sector could have grown with the following experiences, combining the other competencies I've learned, such as illustration, graphic design and web.
Within a global approach, I am trying to combine the different saviors I am specialised in, and for which i could have worked in the past, to deliver the most professional services with the creatiity and methods acquired alongside my professional path.

Work from abroad
After some experiences in Brussels, I had the opportunity to work abroad, mainly in the caribbeans (Martinique, Guadeloupe) for which i was working in advertising agencies, as much as graphic & web designer as illustrator. These experiences have enriched my career path as much on a cultural side as on a personal and professional side.
Recent past
After these enriching experiences, I came back to brussels where I am now mainly working for the different EU bodies and institutions in Brussels, since about 10 years from now. I am curently in a role for the European Commission, DG COMM, for the external communication of the entity, working as much with the spokeperson services, as on social media and direct communication to the citizens.
