I spent seven years at Agence France-Presse, specialising in video and becoming proficient across the full production workflow: editorial framing, sequence-based shooting, interviews, editing, post-production, translation, and web video adaptation.

I also spent three years working on AFP’s video desk in Hong Kong, where I developed strong editorial skills such as managing multiple live feeds and editing a wide range of editorial video outputs, working in both French and English.

I am now a freelancer based in Tokyo, working with international media outlets.

Selected work is available upon request via a private playlist :

On behalf of AFP, I conceived and led a five-part video series produced in partnership with Facebook, aimed at introducing broad audiences to the basics of fact-checking. The project involved editorial video writing, on-camera coaching, scripting, green-screen production, long-form editing, and motion graphics.


The series reached over 7 million views.
