My workbench is my podium. My pliers, my javelins. Mountains of forgotten coins—this is my playground. You'll never see me holding a gold medal, but in every upcycled piece of jewelry I create, a little bit of the Olympic spirit comes to life.
Self-improvement
Because while I've never dreamed of breaking world records, I've always been fascinated by the mental strength of top athletes. This rigor, this iron discipline, this unquenchable thirst to surpass oneself, to push the limits of what's possible... These are the values that drive me every day in my work.
The quest for excellence
Transforming abandoned, forgotten, and sometimes broken objects into unique and desirable pieces is a challenge I approach with the ardor of an athlete. Each creation is a creative marathon, a quest for harmony between the old and the new, the raw and the precious. I disassemble, I crush, I shape, I polish… Every gesture is precise, every detail counts. I seek excellence in every assembly, every combination of materials, every finish.
Provoke emotion
And then there's that spark, that magical moment when the object is reborn, sublimated. More than just a piece of jewelry, it's a story I tell, a fragment of life I recycle, an emotion I want to convey. Seeing the eyes of the person who wears my creation light up is my greatest medal.
Team spirit
But victory is even sweeter when it's shared. That's why I love sharing my passion, my techniques, my tips, my sources of inspiration. Meeting you at pop-ups and discussing the story behind your jewelry, telling you about my unique and story-filled creations... It's my way of being part of a team, of contributing to a collective movement.
So no, I'll never stand on an Olympic podium. But each piece of upcycled jewelry I create is a victory over waste, a hymn to creativity and the unique beauty of the imperfect.
