I love nature, our earth, our universe. I am passionate about the human being, about visuals, about sciences and their results, whether human psychology or technology. I like silence, I practice meditation. I draw since my earliest childhood, before having been able to write.
At school and during my studies, I drew in the white margins of my course books. Teenager, I drew to decorate the walls of party venues for friends with posters of our favorite rock and hard rock bands. Now that I’m working, I use drawings and visuals to help people better remember, innovate, better understand complexity, have a holistic view without forgetting the details, and most importantly, better connect to the intangible and the ineffable that is in them.
