Born and raised in Grenoble, a lively city located at the foot of the French Alps, I have been living in Asia for the last 6 years. After graduating with a master degree in visual communication and advertising, I decided to challenge myself
with new experience, new culture and I worked for a year in Tokyo.
Next destination was Singapore where I switched from the automotive industry to advertising. I worked with Ogilvy & Mather for 3,5 years before joining R/GA.
When I am not travelling in South East Asia, I am might be thai boxing, on a tennis court or simply
hanging out with my friends.
