In a world where everything moves fast, where decisions are made on dashboards and where efficiency reigns supreme, I have found a refuge: creation, craftsmanship.
I live in the tech world. My daily life is structured around project management, analysis, and rigorous methodologies. But at the same time, my hands are searching for something else — a return to the essentials, to materials, to the slowness of artisanal gestures.
Creating has become a counterpoint.
A space for breathing.
A Bridge Between Two Worlds: Tech & Craftsmanship
Far from being opposed, these two worlds complement each other.
The rigor of tech structures my creativity, while craftsmanship reconnects me to something more instinctive, more deeply human — objects designed to slow down, inhabit a space, and accompany everyday life.
When I create a lamp or a scented candle, there is no algorithm or performance indicator. There is intuition, inspiration, the feel of the materials.
Time slows down.
It is in this contrast that I learned to find my balance.
One opens the way for me, the other leads me there.
One is a rational exploration, the other an inner journey.
In reality, these two dimensions are intertwined. The rationality acquired in the tech environment allows me to approach craftsmanship with method and rigor, while handcrafted creation infuses warmth, sensitivity, and humanity into my daily life.
Each creation carries this duality within it.
It is never a simple decorative object, but a fragment of a story — an encounter between precision and spontaneity, between reflection and feeling.
Journeys and Roots
My roots profoundly shape what I create.
From Jamaica, where I was born and raised to the sound of Bob Marley, to Ivory Coast, soothed by the voice of Alpha Blondy and the vibrant sun of flower plantations, to Paris — the most beautiful city in the world — each place, each culture has left textures, colors, and scents in me.
In addition to this, other horizons, in India and China, further enrich this internal dialogue.
These fragments of life infuse my creations like an invisible imprint.
A shade reminiscent of the warm sand of an island.
A fragrance reminiscent of a subtropical sunset.
A form inspired by a traditional sculpture encountered during a trip.
Beyond aesthetics, these influences are also emotional.
They tell stories of moments, sensations, and encounters.
They are a tribute to the cultures that have shaped my journey and still nourish my imagination.
To create is to travel
Strolling through the streets of New York, Singapore, Tulum or Miami.
Explore the markets of Makati, Bangkok or Delhi.
Each place possesses a unique energy, each scent a different world. Through my creations, I have sought to capture these emotions and transform them into objects capable of telling a story as much as they inhabit a space.
For me, creating is inviting people on a journey.
Each lit candle is a door open to another place.
Each lamp illuminates a room, but also a sensory memory.
The rattan, patiently woven, seems to vibrate beneath my fingers, like an echo of the intertwining of time and traditions.
The wax, hot and malleable, traps the scents before solidifying into a dancing flame.
What part of my story, of my travels, can each creation reflect?
The answer never comes immediately. It is built up through gestures, trials, and restarts — until I reach what resembles me, my own idea of balance.
Why I Create
What I am looking for, beyond the object itself, is an emotion.
A scent that awakens a memory.
A light that warms an interior.
An object that finds its place naturally, as if it had always been there.
Today, I juggle the precision of technology and the freedom of craftsmanship. This balance, sometimes demanding, is nonetheless what sustains me. It allows me to explore, push my limits, and constantly imagine new creations.
Creating is also about sharing. Giving a handcrafted object is giving an intention, a story, a part of oneself. I like to think that my creations accompany moments in life, find their place in locations I may never see, and become silent witnesses to precious moments.
I often smile at the thought that one of my creations is inhabiting a home, here or on the other side of the world.
These are atmospheres that I have not seen, but that my objects bring to life.
That is where my greatest satisfaction lies.
Welcome to my world
A space where I share my inspirations, my discoveries and my love for craftsmanship.
I invite you to join me on this creative journey.
