What I Do
I’ve been a freelance writer since 2021, specializing in long-form content (articles, white papers). Favorite topics: tech and the environment.
I work for both the private and public sector, and I have explored a great variety of fields: commons and mapping for the National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information (IGN), asset management for Systra (via Usbek & Rica), financial technology for an alternative asset manager, mental health for a start-up, emotions in humans and animals for the Musée des Confluences (via Kiblind)…
My motto: turn complex ideas into easy reads – bonus points if they’re also fun!
Just Imagine It
I also write fiction, visiting future cities or wondering what that hand is doing in Maurice’s freezer.
I have won several prizes for my short stories, including the Guerlain – le cherche midi competition. I am currently querying publishing house for my first novel Mœdium.
I like sharing creative advice and I have run writing workshops for students, professionals, and amateurs.
Life Before Freelancing
I’ve worked at Google Arts & Culture, for visual artist Fabrice Hyber and at innovation festival Futur en Seine. I hold a master’s degree in Private and Public Management from HEC and Sciences Po Paris.
