ABOUT
My name is Laurie DESFOUGERES, and I was born in FRANCE in 1994.
I have been interested in animated movies and series since I was a kid, as I spent hours redrawing my favorite characters in front of the television. When I started studying sciences in high school I thought I had found my place, but when I went into a science preparatory school, I knew it wasn’t what I truly wanted to do. Here began a year of self study, two years of preparatory school, and three years of animation school which all brought me to where I am today, as a student in character animation.
