About Me

Hello all :)

I am a maker and adventurer from France, obsessively curious and passionate. Also a 22 year old human willing to risk it all.

I left France when I was 17 and lived in Montreal where I studied digital arts. But soon enough I felt the need to take a break from being on a computer all day long and got interested in sustainability and making things with my hands.

I thrive off challenges and learning new things from scratch. I recently came across the term "multipotentialite" which describes me well. It defines people with a wide range of interests, who can't bring themselves to choose a specialty; who need to explore everything.

On the fun side, I backpacked on my own in Mexico & Portugal for couple months. Those trips were definitely eyes-opening and shifted my perception of life, of the other, of what we need to cherish and value. All in all, I reconnected. I now do yoga and Vipassana meditation. I also hiked in the French Alps but got injured on the way. I also practice slacklining and currently trying to be better at it !

For now, I am in a residency in a fablab/makerpsace in Paris, conducting a project related to plastic pollution.
