My Story
I didn’t begin with a plan—I began with curiosity.
Like many others, my journey into art started on quiet Saturday mornings, sitting cross-legged in front of the TV, completely absorbed in cartoons and comic book heroes. Back then, my world was small but vivid. My childhood home was always a little messy, scattered with crayons and sheets of paper covered in simple, honest sketches. I didn’t think much about it at the time—it was just something I loved to do.
As I grew older and chose to pursue art professionally, I started to understand that drawing was much more than just putting colors on paper. It became something deeper—a language of observation, a record of emotions, and even a reflection of human history. Art challenged me in ways I hadn’t expected. There were moments of frustration, times when I struggled to understand form, composition, or even my own creative voice.
But somehow, those struggles pulled me in even more. I fell in love with the small things—the softness of a crayon gliding across paper, the unpredictable energy of paint squeezed from a tube, and that quiet, satisfying moment when a piece finally feels complete. That feeling never gets old.
Crayonas was born from that love. I wanted to take that magic I experienced and share it—especially with children. Because I believe every child deserves a space to explore, to create, and to discover their own voice through art.
Art, to me, is a language. And I want every child to feel brave enough to speak it.
My Path
Over the past seven years, my journey has taken me through different creative spaces, each shaping me in its own way. I started out as a Junior Illustrator, where I spent long hours learning how children respond to simple shapes and lines. It taught me patience—and the importance of seeing the world through a child’s eyes. Later, I stepped into a larger role as a Senior Concept Artist, leading a team to design visuals for an educational app used by over a million people. That experience showed me how powerful visual storytelling can be when combined with learning. Eventually, I chose to build something of my own. Now, as the Founder and Creative Director of Crayonas, I dedicate my time to creating a growing world of coloring pages—thousands of them—each designed with care, creativity, and the goal of bringing joy to children everywhere.
Learning Along the Way
Even as I worked, I never stopped learning. I studied illustration formally, but I also became deeply interested in how children think, feel, and develop creatively. Understanding their world changed the way I create art. It made me more intentional, more thoughtful, and more connected to the purpose behind every line I draw.
What I Do Best
At heart, I’m a creator. I design characters, tell stories through images, and explore ideas through both digital and traditional art. But beyond that, I also focus on how art can support learning—how something as simple as a coloring page can spark imagination, improve focus, and build confidence. Technically, I care deeply about quality too—making sure everything I create is polished, printable, and accessible.
What I Love Creating
Some projects stay with you more than others. One of mine is The Color Forest, a series of over a thousand illustrations inspired by nature. It was my way of helping children feel connected to the environment through creativity. But the project closest to my heart is still Crayonas—a growing, free platform built for children everywhere. Beyond digital work, I also paint murals in children’s hospitals. Those moments are different. They’re quieter, more emotional. But seeing a child smile at something you created—that’s something you carry with you.
Life Outside the Studio
When I’m not drawing, I try to slow down. I collect vinyl records—there’s something special about the warmth and imperfection of old music. My collection has slowly grown over time, each album holding its own story. I also enjoy gardening. Being surrounded by natural colors—greens, reds, yellows—often inspires my work in unexpected ways. And on weekends, I organize free drawing classes for children who don’t always have access to creative resources. Those sessions remind me why I started in the first place.
The Languages I Speak
I speak English as my native language, and I use French occasionally—mostly for exploring historical art references. But more than anything, I speak through visuals. Art has become my second native language—the one I use to connect, to express, and to communicate with creative minds across the world.
