« Learning how to create video games 👾 at high school gave me, a few years later, the opportunity to work for a start-up in Canada 🇨🇦 that had a collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency. 🧑‍🚀 »

I started making video games thanks to a friend at high school, using RPG Maker XP software, and I was able to discover the world that gravitates around this field, even amateur ones.

As a self-taught artist, I started to learn some software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and many others. Then I decided to go to art school and learn more about the subject.

After graduating, I went freelance to work on projects that were close to my heart and I set up a collective with my friend - Kikaku Arts.

Slowly but surely, I've had to get out of my comfort zone while meeting the various graphic needs (print, branding, layout design, etc.) of clients :

• Creating websites with WordPress • Editing trailer videos (for our projects) • Research and Development in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality from 2016 onwards • Discover the trailers and R&D of our former collective : https://www.youtube.com/@Kikaku-arts/videos

It's a world I'm becoming increasingly passionate about !

Thanks to the network, we were able to embark on an adventure with the start-up Stardust Technologies 🇨🇦. We were using VR and AR for training purposes (in space, security, and other fields) and then, the team was able to work with the Canadian Space Agency on Flight 0G tests using virtual reality.

For professional reasons, but also because I wanted to, I started to learn English, Korean, and Japanese. To practice, I had to find pen pals and, thanks to a Korean friend 🇰🇷 whom I met, I was able to work freelance on graphic projects and video editing for a start-up in the Web3 and NFT fields right after my experience in Canada. And so, from April 2023 to January 2025, a new adventure began, co-founding with her the W+EAST Creative Studio 🇫🇷 🇰🇷

Going on an adventure has taught me some essential things :

🧑‍🚀 Always be curious 🧑‍🚀 Learn to learn 🧑‍🚀 Learn from yourself every day 🧑‍🚀 Be creative and don't hesitate to experiment
