I'm the CEO and co-founder of MOONDOG Animation Studio. As a Creative Trailblazer, I have over 20 years of experience in applying high-level technology to my love for art and animation.After studying Fine Arts in the US and in France, I spent 10 years working in various animation studios and directed many aspects of the 3D animation pipeline, including modeling, afterboards, rigging, lighting, rendering, compositions, and pipeline scripting.I’ve since become an expert in developing creative concepts while leveraging ever-evolving technology in the fields of animation and interactive experiences in large-scale location-based entertainment venues using technologies such as AR, VR, projection mapping, human input interaction, and more.With the advent of web3, these areas of interest naturally translate to developing new ideas in the metaverse as well as leveraging blockchains and NFTs for immersive storytelling and exciting experiences. We are currently working on several projects involving a mix of all the above!All that said, I’m still in the animation field, most recently as Executive Producer on the Weird Waters series, of which MOONDOG is a co-producer and handled all of the visual development and animation from concept to delivery.On the personal side, I'm honored to be a husband to Laetitia and a father to our four amazing boys. Since moving from Annecy, France, to Charleston, South Carolina, I've traded snowboarding for surfing, unless I'm commuting on my OneWheel (rain or shine!). I love God and love people; both motivate me to offer up the best of myself every day.
