PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY

I began my professional career with an internship at Radio Nova, working as an assistant on the Néo Géo program, which focuses on world music. I later collaborated with Radio Nova on the creation of the podcast “La Danse du Zèbre”, a 40-episode series exploring the history of Radio Nova alongside the evolution of underground music since the early 1980s. For this project, I conducted around forty interviews, carried out extensive archival research, and handled sound editing.
My collaboration with Radio Nova extended to Les Inrockuptibles, where I produced several videos in partnership with cultural institutions such as the Musée du Quai Branly, Le Centquatre, and La Villette.
I then specialized in documentary editing, focusing particularly on musical, cultural, and social subjects. I started by working on trailers and short documentary projects before launching my first independent documentary in Japan at the end of 2023.
Alongside this, I developed skills in sound creation, sound design, and sound editing, which I apply to my video editing projects as well as to sound effects and sound design for short films and documentaries.
