Between Tech and Craftsmanship: My Creative Journey

A bridge between two worlds: Tech & Craftsmanship

Far from being opposites, these two worlds complement each other. The rigor of tech structures my creativity, while craftsmanship reconnects me to instinct and emotion. When I create a lamp or a scented candle , there are no algorithms or KPIs—only intuition, inspiration, and the touch of the materials .

It is in this contrast that I have found my balance. One paves the way, the other leads me there. One is an inner journey, the other an exploration of the exterior. These two worlds intertwine to give birth to something unique. The rationality acquired in the tech world allows me to approach craftsmanship with a methodical approach, while the creativity of craftsmanship infuses warmth and humanity into my daily life.

Each creation carries within it this duality : precision and spontaneity, reflection and feeling. These are not simple decorative objects, but fragments of history , encounters between two worlds.

Travels and roots

My inspiration also draws from my roots. From Jamaica , where I was born and rocked by the sound of Bob Marley, to the Ivory Coast , imbued with the voice of Alpha Blondy and the vibrant light of the flower plantations, to Paris , city of art and contrasts… each place has left colors , textures and scents in me.

These fragments of life infuse my creations like an invisible imprint, a subtle blend of my origins which are also found in India and China .

Each place imprints itself on me like a sensory palette which, sooner or later, finds its way into my creations: a shade reminiscent of the warm sand of an island, a scent evoking a subtropical sunset, a shape inspired by a traditional sculpture… everything becomes a source of inspiration .

Beyond aesthetics, these influences are emotional . They tell of moments, sensations, encounters. They are a tribute to the cultures that have shaped my journey and continue to nourish my imagination.

To create is to travel

Through my creations, I seek to capture emotions and transform them into objects that carry stories .

For me, creating is an invitation to travel . Each lit candle opens a door to somewhere else. Each lamp illuminates not only a room, but also a sensory memory .

I like to believe that my creations are the fruit of a dialogue between the material and me: the rattan , patiently woven, seems to vibrate under my fingers, recalling the interlacing of time and traditions. The wax , warm and malleable, traps the scent of a perfume before freezing into a dancing flame.

In every gesture, there are new beginnings. In every creation, a quest for perfection - my perfection.

Why I create

Beyond the object, I seek emotion .

A scent that awakens a memory.
A light that warms a room.
An object that naturally finds its place, as if it had always been there.

Today, I balance the precision of technology with the freedom of craftsmanship. This balance nourishes me and inspires me to continually explore new avenues.

To create is also to share . To offer a handcrafted object is to offer an intention , a story , a part of oneself .

I like to imagine my creations incorporating settings that I may never see, inhabiting distant atmospheres... And it is there, in this idea, that my greatest satisfaction lies.

I am MIYA , a craftsman registered in the Trades Register in France .

I invite you to join me on this creative journey .
