I am a creative civil engineer and passionate urbanist trained in both France and Sweden. I now work in France as a project manager in collaborative city-making and environmental strategy at Wigwam consulting. At Wigwam, we believe that the climate emergency and the bleak future ahead require a change of strategy and pace. We help the actors of the city / rural areas to speed up the transition of both their places and organization towards being more human-centered and 'future-proof'. We work with cities, real estate groups, social housing companies, private companies? and on different project scales.

Throughout my education I became very passionate about everything related to the human behavior in the urban environment. I believe that this field, which remains hardly explored, can be the key to many of the challenges we face. One of the recurring problems faced by placemakers is the lack of engagement and action of people in general, for example towards a public space project but also more generally towards the environment. In the last few years I have researched the psychological barriers that cause this behavior and I am excited to share my thoughts on this matter.
