ロ―ランド　セドリック ROLANDO　CEDRIC

To whom it may concern, Hi,

I’m Cedric Rolando, a 37-year-old French CG Artist/ 3D generalist living in Tokyo for almost 7 years. I have a Spouse Visa (I have applied for a permanent residency I’m waiting for the answer) and a 3 years old daughter. I can speak English, French, and I have an intermediate Japanese level.

After graduating from a Medias Engineering Master’s degree, I started in 2010 to work as a graphic designer (web and print) for the video game industry in Paris, France. Aside from this work, I had more and more commissions for freelance work such as music video, motion design and creative works. I eventually became 100% freelance in 2012. With more than 15 years of experience I think I can say that I have a global vision of graphic production.

I have found your company on Google Maps, and if I consider the scale of Tokyo, I think we can call us neighbors. I can see OUTBLAST is doing a great job with prestigious French brands. In case you have have some needs in the future for promotional communication like website/ print/ video or 3D I would like to propose my profile.

I remain at your disposal for any further information you might require.

All the best,

Cedric
