About

3D Crowd animator at Mikros Animation Montréal, QC, Canada. Looking for full-time animation jobs from Québec employers, in Montréal QC or remote.

Ambitious 3D character animator aiming to make memorable characters, constantly on the hunt for improving my animaskills.
I am usually a calm presence in a group, and love working with a team, spending time together at lunch break or after work. Sometimes I might bring something home-cooked for everyone to share.
Outside the office, you might find me cooking, drawing, sipping coffee and tea, or trying the local Historical European Martial Arts school.
