Can you introduce yourself?

I am German-Danish and come from a family of designers and carpenters. I continued the family tradition by creating The Hansen Family label, which makes solid wood furniture.

How would you define yourself in 3 words?

Positive, curious, vigorous.

What makes you feel like a woman?

It can be anything: a smell, a ritual, another person, a situation... I can't define it. But I feel it more and more, especially in situations where I have to express myself, make a decision.

What does a day in your life look like?

I get up very early, around 5 o'clock to have a little time for myself, before the children wake up, often to do sports and especially to have a coffee.

Afterwards I take the children to school in Fontainebleau and I go to work in Paris.

I'm more creative in the evening, so I often get back to work after the kids go to bed, and during the day I do more practical things for my projects. My husband works in his restaurants in the evening, so that leaves me time to draw in the evening.

What are you most proud of?

My children of course… Professionally, my ability not to give up.

An anecdote from your life that helped you move forward?

I find that every scary situation is an opportunity to move forward; it's just another mountain to climb. In the end, only health problems can be truly scary. If I'm really stressed, I look at Thomas Ruff's images of galaxies and stars—and I tell myself that my problems aren't that big after all. His work really puts things into perspective.

What is your relationship with your body and mind?

I'm very fast, so I'm aware that I'm not giving my body the importance it deserves, after all it's done.

What boosts you on a daily basis when you don't feel well?

My dog, she is a concentration of good humor.

And my Matcha with oat milk is my soul food.

What are the beauty and wellness rituals that you couldn't live without or that you practice every day?

I've loved using cream since I was little. I always secretly used my mom's because it smelled amazing. I even used to put it on my hands to fall asleep with that smell in front of my face. And I always put oil on my face before going to sleep.

If you had to keep only one beauty product in your vanity case? (cream, serum, oil, eye cream, etc.)

This would be my day cream, I can survive on just this.

Your favorite Aime product and why?

The Simple Cream for its texture and smell.

How would you define your vision of the world today?

I believe that ecological responsibility should be the first obligation for a designer today.

That you have to stay curious throughout your life.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
