I'm a strategic designer based in Paris, interested in how we design the conditions for independent-minded individuals to grow and thrive together. Actively exploring: learning as a social activity, the nature of unfolding conversations, and building better habits for effective collaboration.

Right now, I’m working on:

😎 Client assignments for design and research, and managing my part of the consulting business at AQ.

🧜‍♀️ Stewarding internal programs at Greaterthan.

🏃‍♀️ Building Emotions at Work, an online coaching program about emotions at the workplace.

🚴‍♀️ Planning and training to cycle Vía de la Plata!

Autumn day trips 🍂 catch the sun and colors in Chevreuse, La Roche-Guyon, Val d’Oise

When I have news to share, I send Postcards.

And setting off on an occasional athletic adventure:
