What or who inspired you to start your business?
It all started with my dad—an incredible cook, product obsessive, and walking encyclopedia of restaurants. He taught me that food is more than what’s on the plate; it’s a connection, a story, a way to belong. Summers at my mom’s family farm in Auvergne deepened that bond, shaping my love for terroir and tradition. Food has defined every part of my life—it’s my passion, my work, how I care for people, and even how I met my husband.
With a master’s degree in brand strategy and advertising, followed by a decade immersed in brand management, activation, and creative direction at Le Fooding, I carved out a role that didn’t exist at the time: creative director for the food world. A decade ago, that wasn’t a thing. But I saw food becoming a cultural phenomenon, competition getting sharper, and an opportunity to bring something valuable to chefs and food entrepreneurs. Today, I feel incredibly lucky to be doing my dream job—I honestly have no idea what else I would have done!
What gets you out of bed every morning and what motivates you?
Other than my three-year-old yelling “MAMAN,” it’s the pursuit of beauty in all its forms—crafting a brand, sharing a meal, or catching the way morning light hits the table. I’m driven by creating projects and moments that feel meaningful, personal, and a little magical. And, of course, the promise of a really good coffee.
Could you describe your personal style and how it reflects on your professional expertise
Tailored yet comfortable, uncluttered yet well-made—clothes that tell a story. This philosophy guides everything I do, from branding to design, where my work strives to uncover intimate meaning rather than chasing trends. I bring the same intentionality to how I dress and curate my home—favoring vintage pieces from family, mentors, and travels, or designs by close friends or small brands I admire. I believe in consuming with purpose, carrying stories that inspire.
Which BLAZÉ Milano pieces are you most looking forward to wearing this spring?
The everyday blazer in First Class navy—an effortless classic. Polished with a crisp poplin shirt for business, relaxed over a ribbed tank for dinner, and irresistible worn solo for a night out.
Finally, when are you the happiest?
What greater blessing than a table full of laughter, good food, and the people we love? I’ve always loved that Virginia Woolf quote"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."
