On a personal note:
“I was born in Evry – Paris France in 1982 and moved to Hong Kong in 2003. I have a passion for art and creativity and am constantly working on bettering my skills and growing my catalogue of creations in both Design, Art, Music, Writing and Game Dev. I am the proud father of an eight years old boy for whom I thrive to build a great and prosperous future.”
“La French Touch”, c’est quoi?
La French Touch is what I bring to the local industry. It is style and sophistication, and pride in the beauty and artistry. Thinking about it as mixing Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann’s style with Raymond Loewy’s M.A.Y.A principle. An elegant balance of form, function and innovation, packaged with current and future markets in mind. To insure success, you must set the trends, not follow them. Be bold, yet traditional. La French Touch is YOUR mission + MY expertise.
