I aim transposing my passion of sound in your project and your demands.
In the world of audio-visual productions, the sound is often underestimated.
However, it will have a huge impact in the perceived value of your work and help to stand out as professional.
I always care about audio quality and I like to be proactive while adapting to the client’s vision.
I also contribute to creating a sound identity in the service of a story (film / trailer, radio dramas, audiobook) or a brand image (advertisements, websites, etc…)

My journey in a nutshell
For a long time passionate about music, cinema and more generally sound in the service of an audiovisual project, I definitely took the step in 2015 to reorient myself professionally as a sound engineer.
After having learned (among others) at the SAE Institute Brussels, I first worked as an intern then freelance in live and events. But it is in audio post-production in the studio that I finally find my way after some volunteering experiences (Dame Blanche Studios, BSFF, …).
My work from recording to the final mixing in studio, in complete autonomy, on several films selected at the BIFFF (Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival), cemented my passion for sound design as a storytelling element.
And when the time allows it, I give private lessons and manage a tuition blog (posts and podcasts) on home-studio music production and sound design in general (Arsonor).
I also love the creative challenge of field recording and experimenting with original sound design techniques to feed my own soundbanks.
