Author-Illustrator | Comics | Visual Storytelling | Children’s Illustration
About me :
I am a young author-illustrator based in France, working mainly in comics, visual storytelling and children’s illustration.
My work is built around narrative worlds that are poetic, strange and emotional. I like creating characters who carry both fragility and strength, and stories where fantasy becomes a way to speak about family, friendship, identity, fear, hope and growing up.
I work primarily with traditional techniques such as watercolor, colored pencils and drawing by hand, which I then combine with digital editing and layout. I am especially interested in the connection between image, rhythm and emotion: how a character moves through a page, how a silence can tell something, and how colors can shape the atmosphere of a story.
Through my projects, I want to create visual stories that feel personal, expressive and alive, while remaining clear and accessible to readers.
Selected projects :
Les Souvenirs de la mer
Complete comic book project created as my final-year school project.
I wrote the story, created the illustrations by hand using watercolor and colored pencils, then scanned, edited and laid out the book digitally with Adobe InDesign.
The story follows Kurt, a walrus-man, and Salmon, his adopted human daughter, in a strange and melancholic maritime world.
Battle School
Comic project in development.
A fantasy story about a high school student who discovers a mysterious planet connected to school, imagination and personal fears. The project explores adolescence, friendship, anxiety, failure, hope and the desire to find one’s own path.

Short narrative comics exploring humor, character interactions and visual rhythm through compact stories.
