About Me

My journey into sound began with tape recorders, analog gear, and synths. After studying audio engineering at ESRA Paris, I refined my studio skills at Studios de la Seine in Paris and Studio Ze Livingroom.

For over 15 years, I have collaborated with game studios, film directors, and international brands (Disney Japan, Cartier, L'Oréal). Passionate about gaming, I specialize in building reactive, immersive audio pipelines.
