I'm an enthusiastic and insomniac explorartise (invented French portmanteau word).

Inspired by graphic arts and botanic, I draw(fr), I paint, I write(fr), I code(fr) as a process of exploration and documentation.

Create to breathe

I am extremely curious about everything that touches crafting. On a regular basis, I make gizmos, mainly with paper and seasonnal plants that I forage around me. I create to delve different traditionnal craft skills but also to ease my anxious mind. I try to list my work regularly(fr) and I also talk about my experiments on Instagram and on the Fediverse.

If you enjoy my work, you can support me or simply share my creations with your loved ones :)

Growing with the living things

I do my best to take care of the environment and the people around me. I explore the life of plants through gardening, foraging and herbalism. As I live in a city, I volunteer in places where permaculture or agro-ecology are applied to deepen my knowledge on the ground.

Even if I am still trying to find my place in this biodiversity, I start to sense the life that I want for my relatives and me.

Moving together

I am driven by the desire to change the world collectively through popular education. I am looking for the right balance between my strong belief in collective thinking and my important need to rest in my inside world.

As a Chinese and French cisgender woman with a chronic disease, I identify with the values of several feminist, decolonial, disability rights, ecological, libertarian fights who advocate for social justice. Mutual assistance, in my view, is the key to a fair and gentle world. This faith is my strength, my driving force, and also my weakness.

Tinkering with the Internet

Part of my time is dedicated to coding and to the Internet. I work as a freelance web developer(fr). I love this job and I am very lucky this can be my source of income. Thanks to my more than ten years of experience in tech(fr), I can be financially indepedent while managing my time as I want. This flexible planning gives me the opportunity to rest and to work on other projects, personal or with other people.
