A Quest called Tribe

2 continents. 3 cities. 4 houses. 15 people. 4 products. 1 family. Tribe was a series of social experiments backed by Sequoia Capital and KPCB. A messaging app, a calling app and a gaming app.

Hustling for fun

I've released a bunch of side projects. From an ironic fan brand inspired by Balenciaga (1,2,3), the missing "Explore" section of Snapchat, or Collectible Cards on the Ethereum network. The one that blew up the most though was a controversial email-based app called Leak (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15).

Lost in the game

I have a Master Degree in Finance. I've never studied Design at school. During my College years, I created a bunch of Tumblrs (1,2) receiving 100,000+ visits, curated a newsletter of torrent links called Le Video Club (RIP), made merch for several French Colleges (1), interned at Leetchi - the "Hottest Startup #1 in Paris (Wired)" and also created my first social app (1,2,3).

Another Internet Kid

Born and raised in Paris, France. I started designing at 16 on a cracked version of Photoshop CS2. My first gigs were terrible logos & websites for my Counter Strike friends. AIM, MSN or mIRC. The early days of remote work.
