Born in 1989, I am a graphic designer and digital illustrator based in Lausanne, in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. A graduate of ERACOM (School of Art and Communication), I worked for Rouge FM radio and then QoQa.ch before spending nine years at a communications agency in Lausanne. I then worked as a graphic designer for the Casino de Montreux’s online gaming platform. In my spare time, I paint and create digital artwork, drawing most of my inspiration from popular culture.
Since the age of 4, as far as I can remember, I have been into music thanks to my dad who is passionate about Hard Rock music. Bon Jovi is the band that stole my heart, but I also fell for bands such as Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, Skid Row, Steel Panther, Metallica… yes, all those big hair bands! But I also enjoy rap music, blues, jazz, pop, synthwave. And more recently, Marilyn Manson is the one who became my muse. He really opened a door for me as my creativity has really increased since then.
I have an obsession with the 80s/90s. I love travelling to see concerts and immerse myself into music, but I am also a quiet person. Actually, I have an ambivalent personality. I like things and their opposite. I can be introverted but I can find myself dancing on stage in front of thousands of people. I can be listening to Rammstein and then switch to Harry Styles. I enjoy being on my own a lot, with music in my ears, drawing late at night. This is typically a perfect moment for me. This is me being in another world where Art takes up all the space and I feel untouchable. Only my cat Jiby can distract me, he’s my universe.
