It was in 2016 that Joëlle’s avid off the grid traveling started and the immersion in different cultures. With camera at hand, the storytelling started of the unseen people who live their lives, day-by-day. Different countries, different habits and still most people live with the same intentions. The camera revealed the stories of people living in difficult conditions, their strength inspiring her to contribute to their initiatives.

Thanks to her enormous love for people and cultures, Joëlle encounters people, whom she calls ‘local change makers’,  who passionately support their community in improving their standard of living. Since these local change makers themselves have grown up in these harsh circumstances and may still be living in same situation, they know better than anyone what the core is of the situation. Only, not everybody has all the means, experience or skills to make the impact that is needed to get out of poverty and improve life standards. 

Collaboration and connecting people has always been the focal point in her career, from consulting companies in partnerships to supporting teams in improving  teamwork and helping individuals finding their spark. Joëlle has an intrinsic motivation to really “see” and empower people with their skills, their needs and desires. Inspired by the perseverance of people, her aim is to contribute her variety of skills to the local change makers in the world to support in impacting lives. She works with NGO’s on the ground, closely involved with the people and the projects to make sure they are in the lead and to empower them where it is needed.
