But I am a lot more than that! Get to know the woman behind the beautiful designs, and a little more of how Atelier Jouan came to life.
At Atelier Jouan, we firmly believe that every business owner deserves to feel empowered and confident in their online presence. A pivotal aspect of achieving this is ensuring that your brand and website authentically reflect your vision and values.
Jouan is one of my four family names, it was given to us by a very special person, my grandma. Her family immigrated from France to Brazil to flee war. I love the name and how it sounds, a bit french and elegant. In honor of my family I decided to give my brand our name, as something that I hold very dear to my heart.
As someone who has always believed and pursued her own wildest dreams I'm deeply driven to assist other ambitious women on their unique journeys. My commitment is to empower you to craft aligned, enduring brand visuals and websites that not only captivate and nurtures your audience but also fuel your revenue growth. Being part of your journey and helping you fulfill your big visions for the future is incredibly meaningful to me. I'm committed to not only being your biggest cheerleader, but to work alongside you to bring your dreams to life.
If you are wondering where I am from, Oi! I´m from Brazil! BUT, I live in Austria... it´s a long story how I happened to move to this tiny, beautiful, cold European country! You´re probably guessing love, right? Well, you are right! Love is what sparked the biggest decisions I have made in my life. But first let´s take a quick trip down the memory lane.
During my university years in Brazil i decided to move to Montana in the USA for a year. It was my first time living abroad, alone, up in a ski resort, buried in snow for the most part of the year. And I LOVED it. It all started here, my love for travelling, changing countries, immersing myself in new cultures, being able to see and experience the world. An I did! I spent many years experiencing the world. From Spain to Cambodia, Chile, India...
Fast forward almost 20 years (!), I now have a family, and live here close to Vienna in the countryside, with my son, my husband who is Austrian, and our two maine coon cats.
Even though this story might not seem directly related to web design, it says a lot about who I am and what it's like to work with me. I truly believe that beyond just liking my design style and entrusting me with your website, you deserve to get to know me on a personal level too!
I actually have a Doctor's degree in Social Anthropology...
This is a truly a fun fact! I have spent most of my life in universities, either researching or writting about said researches. And I still loooove to learn new things, visit museums and enjoy art. My studies were very focused on Middle Ages art and since I was living between Spain and Austria at the time, I had a blast doing research and studying to defend my Thesis. But in the end, it was not something I wanted to actively work with, but it did open lots of new doors for new experiences and new people in my life!
