I have a design studio in Paris called Studio Mumuse. I mainly make stop-motion animation videos but also anything else that comes to mind and amuses me. They might be about sets, special occasions, fashion or decoration.

I’ve been imaginative and enjoyed tinkering ever since I was a little girl. After my baccalaureate, I considered going into some sort of creative education, but I changed my mind and went to business school. I grew up in northern Picardy, and the artistic professions seemed abstract and inaccessible to me. And at the time I felt the need to move up the social ladder. I ended up working in marketing development in the cosmetics sector. I was interested in the challenge of imagining and launching new products on the market, but I was very unhappy working in a company. I was lucky enough to have the idea of creating a blog on DIY at the right time, and to meet Paulette Magazine and agencies like Ykone, which gave me visibility with communities and brands. All that created a craze for my blog and content. That’s what pushed me to train and work hard. When I started making money by doing “influence” and content creation, I gave up my full-time job. After a year of self-employment, I created Studio Mumuse. I work here together with Laurie, who has been freelancing for me on various assignments for the past two years.

There are so many different things! The ones that stimulate me most are the really challenging projects – the ones that take me outside my comfort zone. I find it very exciting when I have the opportunity to work on objects or collections for brands with which I share common values. For example, there was a limited edition bottle for Suze, panties with Petit Bateau and a shoe collection with Sarenza. Each time I had carte blanche for the design process as well as the communication and even for organising the launch parties (I love it, especially when they’re fancy dress!). I’m toying with the idea of holding them every month and playing with Djette, my new craze. What’s made me proud recently is producing a 40-episode animated series for children called “1m10: around the world at children’s eye level” (based on an original idea by Pauline D’Hueppe-Haranger and music by Yohann Henry) that can still be seen on Canal + Family, as well as a digital campaign film for Nina Ricci in stop-motion.

I learned that freedom is more important to me than the ambition and financial success I dreamed of when I was younger. I’ve realised that, to feel fulfilled, I need to make my own decisions about what I want to do or not do, so that I’m not accountable to anyone (and vice versa). Others have taught me all sorts of things. Right from the beginning, I’ve surrounded myself with different talents depending on my projects. I watch, we share, and I feed on all this knowledge and enthusiasm.

I’m a fan of fashion and futuristic design from the Space Age period, hence this table with round metal legs found in the Marseille flea markets. I like modular furniture, which is why I’m looking for new trolleys from Joe Colombo, but this time in yellow and red. I find them very useful for the studio. Instead of all my plastic storage, I dream of having colourful USM furniture. I also chose Togo sofas for the studio, but if I had more budget, my dream would be to have several vintage sofa-beds from the same designer, like the Terrazza by Ubald Klug, the Mura by Mario Bellini or the model I saw in the article on Constance Gennari. I like to spend my life wallowing: I often work in bed! (laughs)

All in all, it’s a dreamlike and mischievous atmosphere. It’s primarily influenced by the sixties in both fashion and decoration, with lots of vinyl (Courrèges jackets and Carel patent leather Mary Janes are my uniform) and pieces by Paco Rabanne. But that doesn’t stop me from collecting Jacquemus femme fatale dresses or very strong pieces like Greenhouse Marine suits, with which I enjoy wearing almost like a disguise.

It’s a source of inspiration and discovery. I enjoy reading the articles and looking at the photos of beautiful interiors: it sets me dreaming. I discover new designers, professions and personalities. It gives me a lot of ideas! I’m incredibly proud that you’ve come here. I’ve been reading you ever since The Socialite Family was created! I admire the evolution of the media and the launch of the brand.

Maybe at the Salon du Chocolat – I’m designing a dress for that – in the cosmetics departments with a colourful collaboration that’s coming out soon, and then in my studio to build models of furniture and sets (I start training at the beginning of September).
