Producer.

— What do you like about your job?

What I love about my job is the opportunity to turn ideas into reality. Every new idea is like discovering a new universe! It gives you the opportunity to gather a great team and create an interesting product together. It’s especially rewarding to see a project take on a life of its own on screen. It’s always inspiring.

— What do you hate about the job?

Probably the fact that sometimes we have to explain to people that we can’t just press the START button and do something overnight.

— What is your dream (if you have one)?

My dream is to someday make a video based on a poem or mini-prose I wrote.

— What’s your top-3 animation movie recommendation?

Coraline (2009), Little Gray Neck (1948), Inside Out (2015).
