About Me

Friendly, optimistic, creative and curious.

As a child, I’ve been always wondering how could I reuse things considered as waste : carton, plastic, paper, fabric.. I have been keeping all the reusable things for me since I was a child.

As I couldn’t store everything, I started creating art from those materials. Then I met lot of artists and artisans and decide to open a shop dedicated to Upcycling in Nantes. The shop, PIROUETTE is going well and I have thousand of other projects connected to waste and Upcycling.

After San Francisco, Nantes will become the next Zero Waste city ! I'm going to lead the change here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couchsurfed during my trip in Brasil and want to do it again and again.

I am going to visit San Francisco to understand the Zero Waste Program that the city implemented. I’ll be happy to meet some key change makers.

Couch-surfers, I will be happy to host you, to make you discover amazing landscapes and projects here in Nantes.
