Every brand has a story worth telling well. My job is to find it and build the creative infrastructure to actually tell it. I work at the intersection of visual storytelling, brand strategy, and digital marketing. My background is in documentary filmmaking (AUP, Magna Cum Laude, 2024 โ€” Barbara Reno Prize for Excellence in Filmmaking). My practice covers short-form video, brand identity, content strategy, and creative direction for small businesses and independent clients across the U.S. and Europe. I've built my practice at the intersection of disciplines (video, design, strategy, marketing) because that overlap makes the work better. It means I can lead a creative direction and execute it myself, collaborate with a specialist and actually speak their language, or slot into a team and add value beyond my job title. But the technical range only goes so far without the other half: actually understanding people. My background in documentary filmmaking, journalism, and anthropology taught me to listen before I make โ€” to ask what an audience needs, not just what looks good. That instinct carries into everything, from how I work with a client to how I design for their customers. It's the difference between work that's pretty and work that's pretty impactful. ๐Ÿ“ Based in Paris ยท Bilingual EN/FR ยท Open to remote, freelance & full-time rolesโ€ฆ
