Few words about me and my background:

I am a passionate and skilled Videographer, Interactive Media Designer, with several years of experience in the digital and creative industries. I graduated from the Haute École Albert Jacquard in Belgium in 2010 and have since worked in Belgium, France, and Switzerland. In Switzerland, I gained valuable experience across diverse sectors, including a creative digital agency, a TV channel, a banking group, a film production company, and a public health institution.

At the core of my work is storytelling through video. As a videographer, I bring extensive expertise in filming, editing, and post-production, combining technical precision with artistic vision to create compelling narratives. Whether behind the camera, in the editing suite, or during post-production, I thrive on transforming creative ideas into polished, high-quality visual content.

Beyond the moving image, I translate my creative vision across the entire spectrum of visual communication. My expertise in DTP and Graphic Design allows me to craft high-impact visuals for the web and digital platforms, where every pixel serves the narrative. By merging my storytelling DNA with a strategic approach to digital marketing, I deliver cohesive visual ecosystems that don't just look stunning they drive results.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am deeply inspired by travel, cinema, music, Asian culture, art, history, and the methodology of critical thinking. These interests not only fuel my creativity but also enrich my perspective as a storyteller and digital professional.
