It all starts in Lille.

The head offices of the brands I worked with, and the time it takes to reach them from Lille. Spoiler: not much.

Skip the journey and see the list of points

01 · Base camp · Lille

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.

02 · Connections

Lille, where the lines cross.

Lille-Europe station is 1 km from the Grand-Place. From there, Brussels is 35 minutes away, Paris one hour, London 1 h 20, Lyon and Strasbourg 3 hours.

Indicative times of the fastest direct trains.

03 · Round trip · ≈ 1 h

Paris, there and back in a day.

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

The rest of France? Same.

Rouen, Lyon, Bordeaux, the Atlantic coast, the Alps: usually within the day, at worst with one night there. Distance has never been an issue.

05 · Off the network

Further away, a video call does it.

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.

06 · You have arrived

I'm not far.

A video call or a phone call away. Or a coffee on a terrace in Lille.
