MY STORY

Having graduated with a Master's degree in public finance law, I joined the budget department of the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac in 2008 for a period of five years.

During this period, I developed a passion for museography and visual presentation.

That's where I started to get interested in computer graphics and data visualization, building the first dashboards for the museum, which had opened in 2006.

QUAI BRANLY MUSEUM

2008-2014

In 2015, I trained in data visualization and, in parallel, I joined a firm specializing in market intelligence as a data designer, then head of the data design department.

I create the artistic direction for stakeholder mapping, data visualizations, and maps, printed in poster format, which are offered to decision-makers in major French companies (industry, construction, healthcare). My mission: to support decision-making in complex environments.  

CONSULTING FIRM

2015-2020

During lockdown, I met Florian Melki, a data analyst with a similar artistic flair to my own. We observed an explosion of high-quality data visualizations on Instagram and X. These graphics, while incredible, were often difficult to read due to the size of our phones.

That's where I had the idea with him to take these wonders off the screens and exhibit them in large format, strongly inspired by my background in the museum world.

I then created this concept of exclusively themed exhibitions

of data visualizations.
