Bioenergetic and Gestaltic Approach combined with play and creativity
I have worked in the fashion industry for 20 years with creatives from various cultures, generations, and personalities. Always authentic, creative, spontaneous, and initiative-driven, I now want to support you on the journey to being yourself. In the corporate world, I’ve held various roles, from coordinating the style office to product marketing and brand management. I am familiar with the entire textile and leather goods chain, from the raw material to the product in the shop. My knowledge of processes and products allows me to engage constructively with different roles in a company, enjoying good credibility.
I strongly believe in authenticity and the sustainability of human relationships. I guide individuals and teams through change and the development of their full potential through play and creativity.

Integrated Gestalt Approach
After technical training as a textile and clothing specialist, I started university studies, which I soon abandoned for opportunities offered by the fashion industry. Since then, I’ve held various roles in research and development, sourcing, merchandising, trend research, creative direction, and licensing. Over the years, I have particularly focused on managing and coaching creative teams in the fields of innovation, design, and brand management, coordinating collection development projects, fashion shows, and brand creation and launch initiatives. In my current role as Director of Licenses and Products, I engage with business and design teams from prestigious fashion houses in the luxury, contemporary lifestyle, and outdoor segments. The pursuit of knowledge and continuous learning has been a constant companion in both my professional and personal journey.

Bioenergetic and Gestaltic Approach combined with self-image
My creative background in graphic design and visual arts allows me to cultivate aesthetics and image by combining instinct with technique. With over twenty years of experience, I worked as an Art Director in cosmetics and later as a Visual Merchandiser in fashion and luxury. I strongly believe in the intelligence of the body and trust experience as a tool for personal growth, aligning instinct, spontaneity, emotions, empathy, thoughts, and mind. My classroom work focuses on self-image awareness, both external and internal, judgment, and recognizing the uniqueness of one’s qualities. Trust, love, and freedom are the pillars supporting the body that I inhabit, dressed in tenacity and self-love, on this journey called life.

My technical background as a textile and clothing specialist led me to work in the fashion industry for twenty years, covering various roles from production quality control to sample development and product research and development. I have a passion for theater, sports, cooking, and music. In my free time, I DJ and organize events. I am a creative, sociable person with good leadership qualities. I am increasingly convinced that working on oneself through personal growth paths is essential. As the relationship with oneself improves, the relationship with others also improves, making me feel good. I work and study because I dream of supporting people who want to change, take risks, and find their well-being, over time and experience.
