Multidisciplinary artist born in the suburbs of Paris, she first studied audiovisual technology, drawn to the world of cinema. She then studied at the National School of Architecture in Versailles, which allowed her to gain international experience: a workshop in Tokyo in partnership with Waseda University of Art and Architecture, and several years in Berlin, where she studied at the Technische Universität and completed internships in the field. In addition to cultural and linguistic openness, architectural education allowed her to consolidate an anthropological and social discourse in the artistic creation of any project. 

Her thesis, “Eigengrau” takes the form of a short experimental documentary that explores the concept of mourning in a different culture, while depicting its impact on our environment and domestic sphere. Her work and various projects seek to reveal the stories and myths that haunt the memory of our societies through fiction and drawing.

This visual and narrative quest is developed through her work as a tattoo artist, which she undertakes alongside her academic studies. This ancient ritual provides her with a creative space where she brings together herbariums, cabinets of curiosities, and ornaments, drawing on the powerful memory and manifest force of the practice. 


Now living between Paris and Berlin, she continues her tattooing practice while developing illustration and writing projects.
