MY STORY
It all started with a Bachelor's degree in E-Business at EPHEC.
There, I discovered digital, e-commerce, marketplaces, and everything that helps a business build its online presence today.
After my Bachelor's, I decided to continue with a Master's. But I quickly realized it wasn't for me.
Spending hours behind a desk learning theory just to repeat it back in an exam didn't match the way I wanted to move forward.
I needed to do. To test. To learn in the field.
After my Erasmus exchange, I decided to invest in something that had attracted me for a long time: a drone.
Then came a camera.
At the start, there was no agency, no grand strategy, and certainly no studio full of equipment. Just the desire to create, to experiment, and to seize the opportunities that came my way.
At the same time, I started looking for my first real job.
The interviews went well. The feedback was positive. My background stood out.
But one sentence kept coming back:
"You lack experience."
The classic paradox: you needed experience to land a job that was supposed to help you gain it in the first place.
So I didn't just wait around.
I worked as a salesperson. I worked at an artisanal ice cream shop. Jobs with no direct link to my degree, but that taught me something else: human connection, hard work, adaptability, and the importance of moving forward even when the path isn't exactly the one you imagined.
Then a small e-commerce company put its trust in me.
And that's when everything accelerated.
Marketplaces, logistics, project management, e-commerce, business challenges…
I discovered firsthand how a company really works, and how several moving parts have to come together to generate results.
Meanwhile, photo and video kept taking up more and more space.
I grew my social media, created more content, gradually invested in equipment, and above all, I learned.
Project after project. Client after client. Opportunity after opportunity.
Over time, one thing became clear: my experience in digital and e-commerce on one side, and my mastery of image and social media on the other, weren't two separate paths.
They were part of the same story.
That's where OLAH Agency was born.
A creative agency that doesn't just want to produce content.
We want to understand your business, build your presence, create images that mean something, and use digital as a real growth lever.
Because a beautiful image can catch attention.
But when it's paired with the right strategy, it can also create value.
From numbers to images, we build what makes you grow.
We build what makes you grow.
