Paris, I’m coming home ! 🥖 I’ll be starting a new position as developer in a young startup called Pretto in January and I’m totally thrilled about it. Pretto is helping people in the process of buying their first place. Kind of different of what I’ve done so far. But indeed, it’s been a little while since I started thinking about joining a product company. I felt it’d be a good time to focus on doing code that would serve a better outcome : meaningful, scalable and definitely user-centric.

Google Cloud Interactive Demo

Stink Studios partnered with Google to create a series of demos showcasing how to push the limits of Google Cloud technology. These demos were created for an exclusive event series that hosted some of the world’s top C-suite executives.

The G-Suite Demo is a tangible example of how Google Cloud supports collaboration and efficiency. Illustrated and animated entirely in-house, we imagined a Rube Goldberg-inspired visual story that shows how easily teams can turn an idea into a completed pitch. Playing out over 8 synchronised screens, guests got to kick off ideation by selecting a topic on the Jamboard, follow the workflow from Docs to Slides to Sheets, and finally tap “send” at the end to launch the idea into the world.

After two years of great work and rewarding collaborations in Copenhagen, I’ve moved to New York with a new job at Stink Studios!

This has been an exciting year for Simply Chocolate and it’s seemingly never-ending! The lovely peeps from Spring/Summer came back from this year’s Awwwards ceremony with a Site of the Year win for best e-commerce site. Congratulations! I’ve also been published in the .net magazine February issue where I talk about some of the technical hurdles I encountered and the magic I used to make these chocolate bars look so yummy.

Simply Chocolate

Simply Chocolate is a company based in Copenhagen where it’s too cold to grow cocoa beans, but hot enough to have a steamy love affair with delicious chocolate.

Simply Chocolate is a refreshing digital experience and e-commerce site which features their products and ethos. It was beautifully designed with a focus on one key interaction: unwrapping. Take off the wrapper and dive into delicious ingredients.

Beoplay Unfiltred H4

Beoplay introduces Beoplay H4: wireless, over-ear headphones with a focus on the essentials. The site accompanying this product’s launch is a journey into the customer’s life, told without filters. It features stories of 3 different characters, offering a snapshot of their lives. In addition to anecdotes, customers who share a photo of their headphones on Instagram with the hashtag #unfiltered could have their photo featured on the site and participate in the unfiltered journey.

Beoplay M5

Beoplay M5 is a powerful, wireless speaker that can play music in multiple rooms when paired with other speakers. Inspired by the speaker controls, we built an interactive site that introduced white dots that represented sound as it moves through the air and connects spaces.

Mirage

Mirage is an interactive short film I directed as part of my diploma project at Gobelins — l'école de l'image, Paris.

Edouard, like his peers, is an augmented human. He sees the world through a layer of technology called IO who gives him hints for making good decisions. He relies on it, a lot. But to what extent? Isn’t he just losing a bit of his humanity? Is there a limit to trans-humanism? Can technology take over his own consciousness? Those are the questions the viewer may ask as they navigate through the experience.
