    Smartest man on Earth

A Creative Engineer DNA, since 1981.

The man

Born in France, raised in Reunion Island (French southern offshore territories), from a family of teachers, researchers and engineers.

After studies in Art & IT Engineering, I NEVER dissociated both all along my rich carreer from Print Industry to Cinema & marketing/communication agencies.

Now living in Brussels and working with awesome people who think plain talk is a virtue. 

The Leitmotiv

Everyday less dumb than yesterday. This is the spirit wich allows to learn, understand and transmit information through the best shape, whatever the medium can be.

The one and only rule is : simple is efficient.

After more than 15 years of digital creation, great success and delusions, the flame burns intact.
