WHO I AM

I was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and relocated to Lebanon as a teen where I resided until moving to the US 12 years ago. Growing up, animation had a profound impact on me, shaping my childhood and influencing my adulthood and career choices.

Experiencing life in diverse cultures has given me a unique perspective on storytelling, visual aesthetics, and the power of creativity. From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of animation, its ability to bring characters and worlds to life, and the endless possibilities it offered for imaginative storytelling

I started my education at La Filiere francophone de droit at the Lebanese university of Beirut studying law , however my love of drawing , painting and fashion, compelled me to enroll and eventually graduate from Esmod (Ecole Superieur de la mode) with BA in fashion design and pattern making.

Throughout my journey, I found inspiration from various sources, including current trends in animation, movies, theater, and cultural movements. I immersed myself in the world of 3D animation, honing my skills and pushing the boundaries of what was possible.

My partner and I launched a sportswear brand under his name, Blair Stanley, for six years. Simultaneously, we had the opportunity to develop a brand for a local production company, which further fueled my passion for animation.

I was fortunate enough to work briefly at Marchesa, where I had the chance to delve into the craft of handmade beadwork and delicate gown design. However, my heart yearned for the realm of animation.

With this burning passion, I joined JS Group as an Assistant Designer for David Meister. Eventually, I seized the opportunity to be part of a talented team launching Flor et.al as a designer, where I could finally merge my love for aesthetics, storytelling, and animation.

In the summer of 2020, I made a childhood dream come true by transitioning from fashion to 3D animation. While fashion played a role in my education and career, animation had always held a special place in my heart. It was at this point that I decided to shift my educational path towards studying animation and digital arts at the LA Film School, with a specific focus on 3D character rigging. Since then, I have been dedicated to honing my skills and pushing the boundaries of animation, bringing characters and stories to life in ways that captivate and inspire.

Now, as a professional 3D animator, I am dedicated to creating captivating and immersive animated content. I strive to bring characters to life, evoke emotions through animation, and contribute to the ever-evolving world of visual storytelling.
