I’m the owner and director of studio SHEJI www.sheji.be.

The studio design artistic contents for Circus show, video mapping and all kind of digital scenography. We are working all over the globe.

I took in 2008 a major step forward live entertainment by joining "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" world tour in Los Angeles. I provided, as visual artist, various video contents played on the 360° LED screens of the digital scenography.

For years, I have been closely working as concept artist with world-renowned director Franco Dragone and his most talented team. As Supervisor, I also contributed to develop the Illustration and video department of the group.

Together, we have created various art pieces including :

"The House of Dancing Water" (Macau 2010)

"Taboo saison 1,2 et 3" (Macau 2012-2014)

"The Dai Show"  (Xishuangbanna 2015)

I also designed contents for prestigious shows and opening ceremonies as :
