Tell us a little bit about yourself…
I was born on 26 October 1982 in Paris, and at 15, I was spotted by the director Alain Nahum and invited to star in “Des gens si bien élevés” with Michèle Morgan and Mélanie Thierry. Since then, my life has been all about acting, but also music and surfing too!
.
Where do you hope to go next in your artistic career?
I’m an actress and I’ll do everything I can to keep acting for the rest of my life…Right now I’m working on an album with my band Freckles, and that’s brand new! I’ve discovered the magic of concerts, being on stage with my music, it’s just incredible!
.
What does “creative” mean to you?
Letting your desires and emotions run free, having a different take on the things that happen in our lives and re-interpreting them!

What does the Quiksilver women’s line embody you?
Surfing, freedom, nature, travel, the gentle offshore wind and the power of the Atlantic waves…. But also the chance to express my art and my femininity through clothes that I like and that suit me!
.
What do you understand by “timeless”?
Something that crosses periods and fashions without anyone being able to put a date on it…something that’s outside social conventions, that will never be old-fashioned. Having a timeless beauty is a fabulous compliment.
.
What does “natural” mean for you?
Being natural is forgetting yourself…
.
What do you appreciate most in others?
Being natural and humble! I like people who are confident enough about life, human beings, and themselves not to see the bad side first, but instead to find an opportunity to enrich their lives in every experience they encounter!
