Travelled back to Berlin to give my talk at Forward Festival at HKW. I had a blast! Enjoyed connecting with students, old friends and dear colleagues (Shout-outs to Max Kuwertz, Mélanie Courtinat, Daniel Schnitterbaum of Bus Group)

My talk was titled Journey to PRESENT: Finding Ikigai and I shared the most important steps on my journey from childhood to today and the challenges and lessons along the way: everything that guided me towards finding my own path and my life’s work.

After my talk I got feedback by a woman that made it all worth it and made me so happy: she told me that a few years ago I inspired her to not give up, and so she continued studying and now makes a living from her work as a designer.

A last sunset picknick with Marina, Taylor and Aimée on Tempelhofer Feld and back to France!
