Oxyo is a french contemporary design editor and we develop collections and pieces of furniture in collaboration with designers. We promote young creation as well as projects of famous designers.
I am a freelancer and we are three people in the team, two in the south of France. I am in charge of developing the activity in Paris and worldwide, and of other things such as producing exhibitions, redacting a business plan for a big crowdfunding action in september, and setting up actions of communication.
Appart than that, I redacted my thesis and worked for 2 years in social and ethical design : how to create objects generating positive energy, socially and ecologically.
I am still in quest of integrating those values to my work. Two years ago, I contributed to develop a design agency fully dedicated to humanitarian aid, Humanitarian Design Bureau and also a brand of accessories made of recycled plastic bags and created by disadvantaged women in Burkina Faso, Facteur Céleste.
It was for me the perfect match, allocating my competencies in business development to product creation and solidarity. Unfortunately, there was a big lack of means, which explains I couldn't pursue those activities.
I am today going ahead in my professional carrier, putting aside for the moment some of the variables that constitute for me the dreaming job, but keeping profoundly in mind this need of authenticity and integrity and thriving to create my own project one day, when all the conditions arise.
Why coworking?
Because I was about to explode or murder somebody working for 6 months in my appartment, and seeing nobody. Sometimes I didn't even go outside in the whole day. And I always found a pretext not to work...
