Koen Thorrée 750p

I am Koen

I’m a 48-year-old artist. I live in France. I have a long artistic journey. I started as a freelance artist, then became an art director and also an illustrator. I have worked extensively in fields related to medical and veterinary communication: Nestlé, Virbac, Pfizer, Sogeval, Hill’s, Royal Canin, Merial, and many others.

I have gained significant experience in team management and video workflow, 3D design, as well as print. I am equally effective working independently and I am accustomed to remote projects due to my numerous past collaborations with the United Kingdom, various European countries, and the United States.

I am fluent in both spoken and written English, French, and Flemish/Dutch (my native language).

Currently, in my spare time, I am working on a graphic novel that combines two of my passions: writing and illustration.

If you need someone creative on your next project, don’t hesitate to contact me.
