Off the clock

Based in Paris, but I'm constantly on the move, exploring new cities and cultures across Europe. I've lived in some amazing places, from Athens and Istanbul to Brussels, Lisbon, and Malaga, and I've developed a real passion for discovering new dishes and connecting with people from all around the world.


Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and it's always there in the background, whether I'm designing, traveling, or just hanging out at home. Back in the day, I used to be a musician and played at festivals and venues all over the place. Even though I'm not performing anymore, music still holds a huge place in my heart, and I'm always on the lookout for new artists to add to my ever-expanding playlist.


When I'm not immersed in music or exploring new places, you might find me at the bouldering gym, trying not to let my fear of heights get the best of me. And after a good climb, there's nothing better than catching up with friends over a cold beer!
