It all starts in Lille.
Clients all around Lille, the furthest 10 km from the Grand-Place. And plenty of them less than a kilometre away: we walk.
The head offices of the brands I worked with, and the time it takes to reach them from Lille. Spoiler: not much.

03 · Round trip · ≈ 1 h
Clients from Bercy to the Batignolles. A train in the morning, the meeting, back in the evening: no hotel, no plane, no logistics.
And the blurred names? 10 clients under NDA. Click, but don't tell anyone.
04 · Recalculating route: not needed
Rouen, Lyon, Bordeaux, the Atlantic coast, the Alps: usually within the day, at worst with one night there. Distance has never been an issue.

My work already travels without me: Readme.club is read on every continent, and my photos, used in Notion, Figma, Trello, Medium or Prezi, top 11 million views.
Record: a photo of the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, shot on an iPhone 4s in 2013. 51,959 downloads on Pixabay. Nobody knows why.
