Goodbye Tribal DDB
Today is my last day at Tribal DDB. I joined about 3 years ago and I feel that have learnt a lot during that time.
I had the chance to work on great projects for the Guardian, Volkswagen, Guinness and many more. I had the chance to travel around the world to visit Tribal DDB in [...]
The Power Of Time Off
This is my last week at Tribal DDB before some time off and a new job. Hence, I thought this talk was highly relevant. The power of time off is a great talk from designer Stefan Sagmeister. Every seven years he closes his New York studio for a yearlong sabbatical to rejuvenate and refresh their [...]
Home
Home needs to be seen. Home is an ode to the planet’s beauty and its delicate harmony. Through the landscapes of 54 countries captured from above, Yann Arthus-Bertrand takes us on an unique journey all around the planet, to contemplate it and to understand it.

I take a small break
As you can see, I haven’t been blogging that much these days. I need a break to do other interesting stuffs. I will be back soon and will keep sharing posts I like here.
Part of the Weekend Never Dies
For the fans of Soulwax, I was yesterday at the film premiere of Part of the Weekend Never Dies at the Royal Festival Hall in London. The editing was amazing and the sound will probably give me energy for the whole weekend.
The new Volkswagen website is live
I usually don’t use my blog to speak about my company’s work. I’ll do an exception this time as this project has been a huge part of Tribal London’s work and worth being known. I remember back in October 2006, I had my interview with Matt Dyke and Chris Wood to work [...]
Last stop, San Francisco
I’ve just arrived in San Francisco this morning. It is the last stop of a fantastic experience that have changed my perspectives and here is a picture that could represent how I’m feeling right now.
