Hi, I'm Sylvain. I was born in Paris in 1980. I started in the print and design world as an offset print operator at various companies. This experience led me to an intensive course in key Adobe programs, after which I embarked on a 7-year journey as a graphic and editorial designer at a publisher in Paris. There, I was responsible for the layout and design of a variety of materials, including books, brochures, catalogs, and posters.
In 2014, my wife and I moved to Stockholm, where I began working as a freelancer. Two years later, I joined a Swedish advertising agency. My role there focused on digital banners and animated outdoor advertising, deepening my skills in Photoshop and introducing me to the basics of animation with After Effects.
Currently, I work at Alltheway José, a Stockholm-based agency, where I contribute as both production and motion designer. Since August 2023, I've been studying motion design to further enhance my skills and understanding of the industry.
