About

To learn more about me, what I do, and ways to reach me.

I am Léna Piquet and I'm a Principal Product Manager and Technical Artist at Adobe. I use the Internet pseudo "Froyok" to sign my work since 2003.

My field of expertise is 3D graphics rendering as well as UX/Tool software design. I always been interrested in building tools and pushing visual effects to new levels, sometimes both at the same time. I work on several hobby projects has a way to learn new ways and often write my findings as articles. I'm always happy to share my knowledge and help other.

My artistic background also helps me get a good critical sense for judging my work or others and giving improvement directions.
