About

My first contact with video was through breakdance in 2003. From my teenage years and throughout my twenties, I have been intimately involved in this movement, as an (average) dancer, and mainly as a videographer. Unexpectedly, this teenager's passion took me to more than 30 countries, from Korea to Sudan, El Salvador, Kyrgyzstan, Brazil, Qatar… I have shot some of the best dancers in the world, and I have also gone off-road, to meet some hidden talents in countries you’d least expect to have great dancers.

Alongside my dance journey, I studied multimedia and design. I began working in 2009, doing a variety of projects including commercials, broadcast design, internet videos, websites, non-profit projects… I have worked for agencies and studios such as The Mill, Havas, Upside TV, Elephant & Cie, Flab…

In 2016, I decided to take a light turn toward journalism with the desire to work on projects that were meaningful to me. After several experiences for TV, I have had the chance to join the video team of Le Monde. I have worked two and a half years there, as a lead motion designer ; I also had the opportunity to co-direct and edit news explainers, to design a new visual identity, and to write a couple of stories for them.

In spring 2019, I returned to freelancing, and I currently work for various medias and organizations (Upian, Mediapart…). This year, I have notably co-created the documentary video series Dans ton tel, for the French public broadcasting. I have also co-directed a 15 min investigative video for Le Monde, involving OSINT and 3D.

⁂

Through my experiences, I have developed a versatile range of skills (direction, shooting, editing, art direction, 2D/3D animation, information design, reporting, video analysis, coding), and without a doubt a certain sense of resourcefulness.

Nowadays, my work in journalism frequently involves finding visual solutions to represent abstract concepts, or to tell situations that lacks iconography, often by making use of my motion graphics background. I also work on crafting videos with a "melodic" approach, taking a particular care to the audio flow.

My very first aspiration is to tell - or to take part in telling - stories that are meaningful, useful, in the public's best interest.
