Chamo studied first textiles, then illustration at the Duperre School of Applied Arts in Paris.
After this she took off for Berlin, where she studied visual communication at the Kunsthochschule-Berlin Weissensee.
While living in Berlin, Chamo continued her illustration and tried her hand at her own peculiar brand of doll making. She took part in numerous exhibitions, both solo and collective.
After five years she returned to Paris and dedicated herself to illustration, represented by the agence Illustrissimo.
Today Chamo produces CD covers and sleeve notes, posters for plays and concerts, flyers for different events and a range of illustrations published in the press (Astrapi, Glow, Los Angeles Magazine, Regal, etc).
She also produces children's books, notably 'Signing ABC', an alphabet book of sign-language, which has just come out with Parisian publishers Thierry Magnier, and she is currently working on a pop-up project for Gallimard.
In May 2006, she founded L'Articho, an association of artists and illustrators, which exhibits regularly in Paris.
