A passion for extreme sports, nature's insanity and character design led me to creating collections and concepts driven by a story, a craving, and an urge for adrenaline

I love the way Antoine de Saint-Exupéry inspired W. Disney :

"It's not the eyes, it's the glance. It's not the mouth, it's the smile"
