What is the best thing I like about my job?

The best thing I like about my job is creativity and management

I like to diversify on different artistic projects, I work on my project of collecting clothing creations which is almost finished, from the development of a parade afterwards if all goes well. 

Then on two feature film projects that were submitted to me that I put on hold for lack of funding and especially time.

The casting director who wants to start as a director who submitted this project to me told me to work on the script that he will sign me when he has no imperatives.

I love what I do I work on my clothing collections as a fashion designer, putting my clothing creations on my online store. In Paris I posed a lot as a model and now I pose occasionally at the moment simply because brands ask me to collaborate with them, besides I posed for some.

I have a lot of projects that I have put on hold like a feature film project that I have paused for the moment simply because some artists with whom I have to collaborate for this project have had imperatives, it allows me to move forward on my other projects on the side, fashion, comedy… At the level of direction and comedy, 2 serious projects, one with a casting director and actors, actresses of the Cours Florent, the other project with actors, actresses, scriptwriter …

For the moment it is on pause … in the meantime. It allows me to move forward on one of my projects, a feature film project that would be done in series mode on my side. I build my projects as I go while discussing and taking news of my collaborators, artist collaborators.

In parallel I pose in the animation of leisure that I also like to do.

Soon there may be a singing project because I was offered a duo collaboration, a collaboration following a singing challenge that I posted on my social networks. Apparently with some singing lessons I would be operational singing level from what I was told.

That’s why I’ve always been happy working for myself and freely.

 I like to diversify into the artistic field because I have several projects that I would like to set up in my lifetime. My dream would be with the help of my brand and my fashion creations, a production, a financing company to launch myself in the field of artistic direction and fashion and why not create my own company with my own teams.

But I am a responsible and realistic person, I tell myself that I have to do it as I go. I love what I do, it’s a real pleasure for me.

If I had to lie, it would be if the health and life of one of my loved ones could be in danger. I would then do anything to save him, to protect him.

What’s the thing I hate most about my job?         

One thing I hate the most in my work is when my collaborators do everything to convince me, sell me the dream and then when I finally decide to put myself fully into the project and then I am told that finally it will not lead further, lack of financial means ….

It annoys me to the highest point especially when I put some of my personal projects on standbye. It is a considerable waste of time.

Now I no longer listen to anyone who wants to convince me and I think about the ins and outs. What it can bring me etc …

This question is difficult to answer about me simply because I have been the happiest and I am still the happiest because I love what I do.

If I could what would I change in myself?

I have an exacerbated hypersensitivity even if it is not visible and I think that many of my entourage have noticed it and have known how to play it as always to criticize me, insult me, speak badly behind me. I never understood why I had to accept people in my life who never liked me.

Then simply stop justifying myself.     

What is my greatest professional achievement?

For a child like me who wanted to become Archaeologist and who loved fashion, as a teenager I finally turned to fashion which fascinated me much more and which taught me a lot of how a person dresses is what will determine one of the essential keys to his personality and his cultural, social and even religious belonging. This is the fundamental basis that a fashion designer must know to make research on new trends and determine a general theme to then be able to create these clothing creations.

Lucy Montgomery’s novel “Anne….The House of Green Gables”, this novel influenced me on the fact that whatever happens in life, we must always enjoy every present moment with our loved ones because everything can change overnight.
