My way

Artistic diversity
I let myself be guided by my dreams; I left the opportunity to go out of the way to lead the life and do the things that inspire me deeply. On my way, I take these opportunities open to me to acquire different artistic skills. Thus, in parallel with my job as a graphic designer, I worked on the design of commercial videos around the world, I realized photo reports for travel agencies, I wrote a book …
Today, I work as freelance art director from Cambodia.
