My friends know me as being free-spirit and creative yet quite introvert (but not shy). I like being on my own but also enjoy the company of authentic, inspiring and optimistic people who live fully.

I have had careers in Marketing and Graphic Design, but I am currently focusing my full attention on building an Illustrator career (yes, I am a dreamer ;))

PHILOSOPHY

Following my intuition and trusting the outcome, no matter what.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learn English. Yes, it sounds stupid, but I keep reflecting on how much I would have missed of the world if I only spoke French. All the books, films, knowledge and people I came across through that language is priceless.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking, learning and sharing philosophical, spiritual and cultural experiences.
