I'm stubborn. And pernickety. I can fall asleep everywhere, also sitting. I often start a sentence telling a story and finish the sentence explaining another. I sometimes do things two times because I forgot I did it in the first place. I love nice books, but I am only watching the pictures in it. I don’t remember names, but I remember smiles. I can ride the bicycle, at least on straight streets. And I do jewellery. 

As I did my first necklace at 9 years old during a stay in Kuwait with my parents, I discovered material, colour & the oriental world. This explosion of discoveries moved my world deeply. From this moment on, every single travel – also simply the act of moving, became an inspiration source. The creation comes from a transformation, of a material but also in your mind. A rigid mind can’t get anything out of it. It’s why I am in a permanent search and confrontation with new experiences.

But actually, it’s not about me, it’s about you. You are the person who wants to create a moment. You are the moment-maker, I am the jewellery-maker. A jewel is not an object, it is the materialisation of an emotion. That is the reason why every piece I make has a story behind.

Let’s create a moment together…
