- BACKGROUND -
I was born and raised in Aulnay sous Bois, suburbs 15mins outside of Paris, France. Very family oriented, I was raised in mixed Vietnamese, Chinese and French cultures.

I can speak French, Vietnamese, English, Spanish and a decent Portuguese. Would like to know Cantonese and Mandarin, as well as many other languages.. one thing at a time :)

- EDUCATION -
In school for Computer Programming in France, the web design and web programming classes made me lean towards more artisty type of computer work. After graduating from CS, I went to get a degree in 2D/3D Animation in Arizona, specializing myself in Character Animation.

- WORK -
I went back to work in Paris, France for a year in 2004, freelance work.

In 2005, I got a position as an Animator at Electronic Arts in Chicago. Always striving for more challenges, my Computer Programming and Animation competencies helped me become a Character Technical Artist. I mainly did tools writing and character rigging. November 2007, EA closed down the Chicago studio. Perfect opportunity for me to leave Chicago and move to a warmer place.

In December 2007, I moved to San Francisco to work at Activision as a Character Technical Director.

I got position in films in October 2008, as a Character TD/ Animation TD at ImageMovers Digital, a Walt Disney company.


- EXTRA PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES -
Big fan of Martials Arts, I practiced Taekwondo for 7 years and Capoeira for over 3 years. I have always been very intrigued by kinesiology. I grew up playing sports and am still active in Soccer, Basketball, Ping Pong, Volleyball, RollerBlading and Shooting Pool.

Youth Development is something I have always wanted to be involved in. June 2008 was a big new start for me, I started work as a volunteer Soccer Coach Assistant of a 7-9yo boys team in the Mission District of San Francisco. Big commitment for which I will give my best.
