Bio
Born and educated in France, I have lived in the UK (London) for 3 years U.S. for 11 years.

In Paris and London, I worked in bilingual work environments, including Disneyland Paris and the American publishing company Where International. I managed the art and production departments for Where Paris and Where London. Translating from English to French (and vice versa) was constant during my design and editorial career.
In 2004 I left Europe for the United States with my husband, an American magazine editor, and I launched a sole-proprietor company designing and producing an original line of hand-made pillows for children. The e-commerce website I created includes both English and French versions. I am based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

• Writing and translating promotional materials and press releases.
• Intimate knowledge of American retail markets.
• Expert art and design.
