• When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?

  At 24 years old! I was a computer science student and realized that field wasn't for me. I only felt I wanted to work in the entertainment industry and knew almost nothing about the different art disciplines. I used my savings, sent a portfolio made in 3 months to a French art school and started my art journey.

• What makes you passionate about your subject?

  The creativity, freedom, storytelling & emotions. Being able to communicate universally, not being restricted by the language barrier. Also, never doing the same thing twice is definitely a great motivation to go to work every day.

• What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?

  I like meeting new students that are hungry for improvement and full of creativity. It makes me want to try my best to help them achieve their own goals.
  
  I don't know about being a Superprof haha. It's a learning process for me as well, and I will know I have succeeded when my students will be happy about the progress they made. I try to apply what I liked the most from my own mentors' methods and avoid doing what I didn't like. Then I adapt the classes to my students once I get to know them better.

• Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.

  I have! Too many actually, that I wouldn't be able to list them all!
  The greatest artists I've met or seen are not only crazy skilled but also are wonderful & humble persons. Their work and aura are so inspiring that it helps me remove any negative thoughts and really refocus on what's essential. That's why they are role models right? Since they just push you not only at your craft but also at becoming the best version of yourself.

• What are your keys to success?

  In teaching, my main focus is for my students to have fun, so I will help them whenever they are stuck since motivation and consistency are key to improving, then comes the theory.
  
  In my art career, breaking down problems into smaller tasks that are more manageable. Then the same thing, doing whatever it takes for me to have fun while working, that's when the best designs/art come out!
