“It’s not where you take things from – it’s where you take them to.”
- Jean-Luc Godard
For over two decades, I’ve helped brands find inspiration and momentum through the lens of travel, culture, and retail. Based in Paris, I work closely with executive leadership, creative teams, retail directors, and founders to shape what’s next for their brand – through curated shopping and cultural experiences, product sourcing, launch and event support, and bespoke reporting.
My consulting work is grounded in time spent in the field – on the streets, in the shops, at trade shows, and inside showrooms – guiding teams and founders in Paris, across France, and throughout Europe.
The work blends the intuitive with the strategic: discovering the right vintage piece, scouting a product trend before it peaks, or designing an inspirational week of retail and cultural immersion that helps a team think – and buy – differently.
Every project is tailored, and every recommendation is informed by a deep understanding of the market, the mood, and what makes a product feel right – both now and for what’s coming next.
Whether you're a founder searching for your next idea or an established brand in need of new energy, I offer insight, access, and an experienced eye.
Every project begins with a conversation. The rest is customized.
