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 worked with some of the best dancers in the world ; and I also went 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 as a freelancer in 2009, doing a variety of projects including commercials, broadcast design, promo videos, non-profit projects…

In 2016, I decided to take a light turn toward journalism, with the desire to work on projects that were meaningful to me. I had the chance to join the video team of Le Monde, where I worked two and a half years as a lead motion designer. I also co-directed and edited a number of news explainers, designed a new visual identity, and wrote a couple of stories for them.

In 2019, I returned to freelancing, and worked with various media and production companies (Upian, Mediapart…). I notably co-directed a web series called Dans ton tel (In your phone), and an investigative video involving media/spatial analysis and 3D.

I currently work with Forensic Architecture in London.

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 arguably a sense of resourcefulness.

Nowadays, my work in journalism frequently involves finding visual solutions to represent abstract concepts, or to tell situations lacking 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.
