After studying film/video production and editing
in Paris, I moved to New York where I continued
exploring film editing, studied photography and
art history. Soon after graduating, I moved to Los
Angeles where I transitioned to graphic design
through UCLA. I have had the opportunity to work
with Warner Brothers, NBC’s web division and the
