Because there’s always
a way.

I’m Alexandre “Xtincell” Djengue, a creative director, photographer and toolmaker. My background is in telecommunications and networks. I like understanding what stands in the way, finding a direction and working with others to make the next step possible.

01Disciplines

Different crafts, shared work.

Sometimes I make the image. Sometimes I help choose a direction or work with specialists to produce it. The scope depends on what the project needs.

01

Brand Identity

Naming, visual identity and guidelines, with a scope defined around the project and the people who will use them.

02

Art Direction

Concepts and image direction for campaigns and artists. Choosing an approach, briefing collaborators and reviewing what we make.

03

Photography

Studio, product, portrait and event photography. Looking, composing and working with the person or scene in front of the camera.

04

Motion & Video

Music videos, advertising films and short social formats. Direction, shooting or editing, with responsibilities defined for each production.

05

Design Systems

Brand kits, templates and asset libraries that give collaborators shared material and clear rules to work with.

06

AI-Assisted Tools

Product and interface design, experiments and tools such as LaFusée. Built around recurring tasks in creative work.

04Approach — ADVE/RTIS

Make the choices clear.

ADVE/RTIS is a framework I use at UPgraders to connect identity and action. It gives us questions to work through, choices to discuss and a basis for the next step. Its use depends on the scope of the project.

A
AUTHENTICITY

We extract the DNA, we don’t imitate.

D
DISTINCTION

Immediate visual rupture.

V
VALUE

Every pixel serves a KPI.

E
ENGAGEMENT

From spectator to believer.

R
RISK

The SWOT derived from ADVE.

T
TRACK

Market study vs ADVE + Risk.

I
INNOVATION

Every actionable move.

S
STRATEGY

Dynamic roadmap.

Let’s find the next step.

Tell me what you want to make and what is getting in the way. We can clarify the work, the people it needs and where I can contribute.
