About.
Artists, entrepreneurs and neurodivergent individuals often share a sensitive vision, detached from conventional frameworks and too often crushed by a lack of consideration - my role is to give it the space and structure so it can fully exist and flourish over time.
No – I wouldn't go so far as to say that a creative profile equals a neurodivergent profile, or vice versa. I simply say that these profiles resonate with me and mean a lot to me, each for their own reasons, and also that every person is unique and deserves to be recognised and respected for who they are.
It often turned out that the most interesting people were also the least organised (did I say organised?), brought to life by their little contradictions and unexpected twists.
Too complicated? Rather misunderstood. In my life, I have created several businesses and helped more than 50 people launch their own in France. I specialise in supporting artists, creatives and neurodivergent people (apologies, I couldn't find a more elegant way to group together gifted/highly sensitive individuals, ADHD, ASD, DYS, etc.) because, like you, I myself have experienced misunderstanding, rejection and judgement from people who lack sensitivity and mental agility. I look at things from multiple angles and easily align with a more abstract vision - and chaos inspires me: I enjoy bringing order to it.
Better organized than talented at the arts (sadly) I am your go-to who gives clarity and helps you move forward with peace of mind. My work finds its purpose in our collaboration, because I can put my skills to good use, experience a zillion professional adventures, grow and collaborate without having to turn my whole life upside down.
While routine slows me down, it also provides me with a certain stability, and I have learned to better manage the ‘grey area’ that exists between procrastination, hyperfocus and impulsivity. I enjoy and need to take on challenges to find bespoke solutions; this work not only values my senses, empathy and needs, but also yours.
I am a virtual assistant and left my job as an executive assistant after decades of feeling disconnected from the world around me, ignored, underestimated and stuck in the dark with no growth prospects, buried in incessant, meaningless requests, and without peers in my private life.
After my maternity leave, I also left ‘my country’, my language and the version of myself that I no longer wanted to be associated with. So, instead of drinking coffee in a fancy bar in Madrid, I started building the life I wanted for my children and myself. I started a business to support entrepreneurs from start to finish, in line with my values and allowing me to develop new skills. No more pretending: I choose the people, projects and products I work with, and provide clear and honest support, with flexibility and healthy boundaries. There are still some less enjoyable tasks obviously – invoices, worries – but entrepreneurship is about loving challenges.
Coming from a beautiful big city in northern Germany, after two years in Nice on the French Riviera, I have been living in Provence for ten years.
