Interests

  • Fashion

    Fashion lets people show who they are without saying a word. I'm fascinated by how AI is reshaping the industry, and convinced that technology only works when brands keep the customer at the centre.

    Fashion lets people express their essence without saying a word, and that is what I love most about it.

    It is also an industry in full transformation. According to The State of Fashion 2026 (BoF & McKinsey), executives see scaling AI as the single biggest opportunity of the year. So far, most brands have used it for isolated tasks,but the next step is integrating it across the whole business.

    But technology alone is not enough. Brands need to go further and reach both the hearts and the minds of their customers, especially now that well-being (a trend the report first identified in 2017) has become central to how people live and shop.

  • Project management

    I’m a very organised person who adapts easily to change. I love turning complex goals into clear plans, and I see myself growing into a PMO role, where strategy and execution meet.

    What I enjoy most is bringing order to complex work: defining goals, setting priorities, planning timelines and making sure everyone is aligned. I also enjoy working with people: facilitating communication and acting as a bridge between technical and business teams. My goal is to keep growing in this field through a master’s degree in project management, ideally applying it to an industry I’m passionate about, like fashion.
