About

I am a dynamic and creative bartender shaped by the fast‑paced, high‑expectation world of Parisian luxury hospitality. From my beginnings at Wagyu Paris to developing signature cocktails at Darmima and now serving an international clientele at Gigi Paris, I’ve built a strong foundation in classic mixology while continuously refining my own creative identity. Working in high‑volume environments — often serving 400+ guests a day — has taught me precision, elegance, and the importance of genuine hospitality. I take pride in crafting personalized cocktails that surprise guests, reflect their tastes, and elevate their experience. My approach blends technical skill, artistic presentation, and a warm, attentive service style that makes every guest feel valued. My journey includes winning the Altamura Vodka Competition, representing Paris Society internationally at Venice Cocktail Week, and being invited to multiple guest events. These experiences have strengthened my passion for innovation, teamwork, and delivering luxury‑level service with consistency and energy. For me, bartending is more than mixing drinks — it’s creating moments, building connections, and bringing life to the bar through creativity, discipline, and hospitality.
