Hi!
I’m Anne.

I’m a Paris-based designer turned writer, creative coach, and workshop facilitator who is American by birth and French by hard work. I’m not one to take the standard path and invite the question “What if there was another way?” in all of my work. 

Through my creative workshops Write Your Own Rules and Mapping Your Path, I love guiding a global community, giving others the confidence to get lost and explore the world in creative ways, connecting the dots between mapping, design, and storytelling. I’m known to make people map on bananas to help shake up the status quo.  🍌

I also love facilitating workshops for students, teams, and organizations around the world both online and in person. My work has been featured in Forbes and Psychologies Magazine. I have written for Adobe, Olympics.com, and The Guardian.

My first book, OVERRIDE! What if there was another way? A pocket playbook for possibility launched in 2024. I also run a companion Substack to continue the conversation.

Inspired by my first blog, Prêt à Voyager (translation: ready to travel), I live by the mantra “travel is not about where you go, but how you see the world.” You can find me @pretavoyager on social media. Sign up for my bi-weekly newsletter Connect the Dots for my latest musings.

YOU ARE HERE.
Where do you want to be?

(Because you’re here, I suspect you may not be there yet…)

What happens when we embrace the often messy journey to the destination—and move forward anyway?

What if the key to getting where you want to be wasn’t having all the answers, but asking more questions?

I’m here to guide you as you connect your dots, and navigate your path so you can bring your ideas to life.

(I know it’s in you. You know more than you think.)

So… why are you here?

I WANT CHANGE.

You have an idea(s) swimming in your head or are ready for change but can’t quite take the next step, and it won’t stop whispering to you. You get close until it’s time to take action. You’re overwhelmed, but excited, and feel it in your gut that you’re onto something. It’s time to break out of autopilot and do things differently. Read THIS.

I WANT TO WRITE MY OWN RULES.

You’re not satisfied with the status quo. You know there’s something else out there for you. You can feel it. You’re ready for change, a pivot, a fresh start. You don’t know where to start, or need a guide to accompany you on this journey. You’re ready to start playing by your own rules. All you need is to take the first step. Start HERE.

I WANT TO GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

You love what you do, but sometimes you may have moments where struggle with motivation, resistance, or imposter syndrome. You want to get to the next level in a way that feels true for you, and want to have FUN too. You want an advocate and cheerleader by your side. You know there’s power in community. Start HERE.

 
 

Are you ready to
show up for yourself?

Start before you’re ready.

Take one SMALL STEP.

For the record, it’s never too late.
There’s no behind.

OUT NOW!

What if there was another way?

The status quo isn’t working. Something has to change. We can’t sit around and wait. We can PLAY a part. New action is required in order to have a different outcome. There is ANOTHER WAY.

We must think beyond black and white to navigate the matrix of the world we live in. New possibilities are all around us when we open our awareness and shift our mindset. You don’t have to do it alone. OVERRIDE! What if there was another way? A pocket playbook for possibility will be your guide.
