About Me — Jasmine
Which Side of Me Should I Write About?
I often sit with this question
Is it the French girl who left home at 17 to study in a language she barely spoke?
The curious mind who thought math would lead to engineering — but instead discovered a passion at the intersection of human behavior, technology, and design?
Or the resilient woman who spent hours watching videos, reading obsessively about productivity, and constantly striving to optimize her time and energy
The truth is — like many of us — I’m not just one side.
I’m a mosaic of identities, decisions, cultures, and quiet revolutions.
For the past decade, I’ve built a life in the Swiss-German part of Switzerland. I studied. I worked. I stumbled. I adapted. I became fluent — so fluent that I now think in German when discussing strategy or mapping user journeys.
My mother tongue is French, and yet German has, somehow, become my professional DNA. Isn’t that strange? And also… kind of beautiful?
But the transformation wasn’t just linguistic.
I grew into someone who doesn’t run from discomfort. Someone who sits with pain — her own and others’ — and wonders how to ease it.
Whether it’s through service design or yoga, my mission remains similar:
In yoga, I help people find space — to breathe, to move, to understand.
In strategy, I identify friction and pain points along the customer journey and transform them into opportunities for relief, growth, and connection.
That’s what my master’s degree helped me realize. I don’t just want to make things work — I want to make them work better, for people.
Because behind every “user journey” is a real human being — with fears, routines, and quiet needs. That’s where I come in.
And now? I’m in an in-between. I’m not “employed” at the moment — but I’m learning more than ever.
I’m networking at conferences and private events, deep-diving into AI to build my own personal agent, hoping to reduce the workload of job hunting and social media posting. I’m also exploring new forms of self-expression — writing, painting, movement.
This chapter is challenging, but I’m meeting a version of myself that is deeply perseverant and committed to walking her own path.
Why writing?
Writing has always been part of me. Since childhood, I’ve filled over ten diaries.
It’s where I find clarity, structure, and truth. It’s how I turn the mess of burnout, resilience, joy, and grief into something that speaks.
Words are powerful. Their meaning changes depending on the audience, culture, and context — so I choose them carefully.
To me, words aren’t just tools. They’re bridges.
Through writing, I re-meet myself.
And if I do it right, maybe you’ll see yourself in these lines, too.
So, what’s next?
I am seeking to start working where I can bring my passion, energy, and self-driven personality. While things haven’t unfolded the way I hoped — yet — I’m learning to be okay with that. I’m not giving up. I’m growing through it, staying curious, and trusting that the right opportunity will meet me while I continue to move forward.
In a world of constant changes and uncertainties, I am learning more than ever to navigate insecurity, detours, and unexpected pauses.
What I do know is this:
I want to keep writing. Keep asking questions. Keep building things that matter — stories, tools, communities.
I want to talk about women’s health, self-doubt, love, solitude, adventure, and all the in-between spaces.
I want to normalize the nonlinear.
I want to live with intention — sometimes messy, always honest.
This is where I’m standing now.
