Online digital artist community, Curioos.com aims to promote graphic designers, illustrators and photographers. Initially the platform was created to allow users to post and share graphic artworks in search of feedback or just to fuel collective inspiration. Later it grew into an e-commerce that is printing, editing and selling the work product from the artists curated by Curioos. My role revolved around the business aspect of the company before we decided to pivot into an e-business. I've let my good friend and co-founder Mathieu develop Curioos in NYC in 2011 to start a new venture in Paris. I'm very proud of the relationship we kept with Mathieu, I still advice him on the marketing side since he began to fly Curioos solo. Show less

Jan 2012 - Sep 2012
Yomii was a lifestyle online marketplace that was selling vintage design, art and furnitures. Everything was ready to go when we failed to close a 1M€ funding and decided to close the company in September to pursue other ventures. During its short existence : We successfully raised a 300K€ seed capital. We brought onboard several business partners mainly furnitures and art dealers. We managed to implement all the e-business environment (CRM, ERP, payment and logistic system) We put the sales promotion in motion by setting up the marketing department as well as the social media, emailing, CPC, SEO, SEM, PR, offline aspects.
