ABOUT ME
“We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came.”
John F. Kennedy
Living the dream, inspired by nature
I was born where the land meets the sea, in a place where the ocean is not just a view, but a presence. In Brittany, the land is salted with stories of legends, shipwrecks, songs, and the deep blue beyond. I grew up with the ocean in my ears and in my soul. Since I can remember, I’ve been dreaming of what lies beyond that horizon. Drawn to the lives of the creatures beneath the surface, and the longing to meet them has never left me
My love for animals became the compass of my life. I began to travel across continents, drawn to the wild and tried to figure out what I wanted. For my studies in wildlife conservation, I worked in vastly different ecosystems – from listening to the songs of whales and dolphins in the Mediterranean, to walking among lions and elephants in Africa, to witnessing the raw beauty of Arctic wildlife in Canada.
But then, the call of the ocean, the one that has always reminded me of where I come from, grew stronger. And little by little, it became an evidence that the sea was where I was meant to be alongside the whales I had always loved.
I chose to become a marine biologist, not by chance, but by love. Whales had captured my imagination since childhood – their mystery, their gentleness, their songs echoing through the deep. Among all the animals I encountered, they were the ones who stayed with me the longest, pulling me back to the sea.
Over the years, I followed this calling with dedication: becoming a marine biologist whose path has taken many shapes. I’ve conducted research on whale and dolphin populations, worked as a Marine Mammal Observer, bioacoustician and environmental consultant to help mitigate human impact at sea, and later found my true rhythm as a wildlife guide and scientific educator. Whether on research vessels or with curious minds onboard ecotourism boats, I’ve always strived to be the bridge between people and the ocean — sharing the beauty, complexity, and urgency of protecting marine life.
My journey carried me across oceans and continents — from the icy fjords of Iceland to the golden coastlines of Australia, the deep canyons of Kaikōura in New Zealand, and the wild, remote tropical waters of Niue Island. In each of these places, I found whales — and with them, new stories, new lessons, and a growing sense of purpose.
I felt the need not only to study and protect, but to express.
Photography became my way of capturing the emotion of a moment: the quiet power of a whale surfacing, the shimmer of light on ocean swells, the connection between humans and nature. Later, I also embraced graphic design as a new language to tell these stories, with colour, shape, and intention. Both art forms allow me to share what words alone cannot.
