ABOUT
I am a Creative Director and visual storyteller based in Brussels, working across film, visual storytelling, hybrid creative works and AI-driven creative production. With a background in contemporary dance, having trained at P.A.R.T.S. (Performing Arts Research and Training Studios),I developed a strong interest in the creative and technological possibilities of moving images and digital media, particularly in how emerging technologies can transform visual storytelling and creative production.
I’m interested in capturing and shaping different perceptions of the world, exploring how images, movement, sound, and technology can come together to create meaningful connections with people. My approach is rooted in experimentation and the interplay of different mediums, constantly seeking new ways to communicate ideas, evoke emotions, and create immersive experiences. I’m particularly curious about how emerging technologies and generative AI can expand the language of visual storytelling and open up new forms of creative expression.
My work is rooted in close collaboration, from developing initial concepts and shaping visual direction to working alongside creative and technical teams throughout production and post-production. I’m particularly interested in how emerging technologies and generative AI can challenge conventional workflows and expand the possibilities of visual storytelling.
My professional dance background informs my approach to cinematography and Steadicam operation, bringing a strong understanding of movement, rhythm, composition, and spatial awareness. This translates into fluid, precise, and responsive camera work that connects with performer(s) and the dynamics of a scene. Combining artistic sensitivity with technical expertise, I operate Steadicam, handheld, and gimbal setups with stability and creative intention.
Equipment: Tiffen CP3A sled, BETZ WAVE 1 arm, and lightweight SmartSystem vest.
AI and society
Upon completion of MA in Artificial Intelligence and Societies, I explore how generative AI can create new relationships between human imagination and technology. Bringing an artistic and cultural perspective, I see AI as a tool to inspire experimentation, challenge creative workflows, and expand the possibilities of visual storytelling.
I integrate AI throughout the creative process, from visual research, pre-visualisation, and concept development to prototyping and generative video. Working across creative direction, film, advertising, and cultural projects, I develop AI-driven concepts, visual treatments, storyboards, and workflows that bridge artistic vision and emerging technology to create distinctive visual experiences.
Cinematography
As a cinematographer, I see light as more than a technical element — it is a creative language in itself. I’m interested in how light shapes perception, reveals or conceals, creates atmosphere, and gives an image its emotional character. Through the interplay of light, shadow, composition, and camera movement, I seek to create images that go beyond documenting a scene and become an experience in their own right.
I also specialise in aerial cinematography, using drone technology to introduce new perspectives, scale, and visual depth to film productions.
I operate a DJI Mavic 3 Cine, capturing aerial footage in Apple ProRes 422 HQ. I hold EASA-certified drone pilot competencies in Open Category A1/A3 and A2.
Creative Director
Motionhouse is a trans-disciplinary creative platform I co-founded as a space for artistic experimentation, collaboration, and exchange. Working across performance, immersive installations, site-specific works, and artistic films, we explore the intersections of different art forms and technologies.
At its core, Motionhouse is about bringing people and ideas together, challenging boundaries, and creating work that invites reflection, dialogue, and response.
