MY work STORY
)
I've always been fascinated by the moment when something difficult suddenly becomes clear.
Whether it's a complex organisation, a technical process, a global event or a human story, I enjoy finding the thread that helps people connect with it. That's what has guided my career for the past decade, and it's the reason I love working across so many different forms of communication.
Based in Paris, I have spent nearly ten years creating multimedia content for some of the world's largest international sporting events. My work has ranged from video production, motion graphics, photography and editorial design to presentations, websites, production documents, digital content and behind-the-scenes storytelling. I've worked in quick-moving, high-pressure environments in which ideas need to be polished into clear, compelling communication quickly, without losing their clarity or creativity.
For me, the medium is never the starting point.
Sometimes the best solution is a short documentary. Sometimes it's a motion graphic, a beautifully designed report, a website, a presentation or a simple diagram. Every project asks a different question, and I enjoy finding the format that tells the story most clearly.
I sit somewhere between strategist, designer, filmmaker and communicator. I care deeply about structure, rhythm, visual design and the emotional experience of a piece of work, but I care just as much about the people it's for. Good communication should not only look beautiful. It should help someone understand something they didn't understand before, make a decision with confidence or see a familiar subject from a different perspective.
Increasingly, What interests me most are organisations working on meaningful challenges. Whether it's technology, sustainability, education, public policy, healthcare, or international development, I'm interested in work that leaves a positive legacy. I believe thoughtful communication can build trust, simplify complexity and help important ideas reach the people who need them most.
That's the kind of work I'm motivated to keep doing.
