ABOUT

I am a Daytime Emmy® Award-winning animator, art director, illustrator and animation supervisor with four decades of experience in the entertainment industry. With extensive knowledge of the traditional animation pipeline, I have worked across feature films, television series, documentaries, video games, advertising and educational productions.

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Cinema from Concordia University in Montreal. My background combines strong visual storytelling skills with a broad understanding of animation production, including animation direction and supervision, art direction, storyboarding, character and background design, concept development, layout and illustration.

My international career has taken me to Japan, France, England, China and Spain. In England, I worked on THE VILLAGE, the Oscar and BAFTA-nominated animated short directed by Mark Baker, as well as Steven Spielberg’s animated feature AMERICAN TAIL II: FIEVEL GOES WEST. In Paris, I contributed to the feature film ASTERIX AND THE BIG FIGHT.

In Montreal, I supervised animation on several television series produced by Cinar, including the Emmy® Award-winning children’s series ARTHUR. More recently, I supervised animation on the 2D animated feature TOOPY AND BINOO THE MOVIE, based on the internationally successful books and television series.

My documentary work includes animation, illustration, opening sequences, closing credits, transitions and the animation of archival photographs. My illustrations have also appeared in animated documentary segments produced for National Geographic, Discovery Channel and the Science Channel.

I am fluent in French, English and Spanish and have extensive experience collaborating with international teams. Alongside my traditional animation practice, I also explore emerging generative technologies and their applications in visual development, animation and filmmaking.
