Having lived in London for the past 20 years, Muriel is always searching for the next idea, the next project to bring to life, whether in her professional or personal life. Married and mother of 2 “young adults”, her professional experience both in France and the UK has always combined marketing and creativity.
Following several years as Marketing Director within major French groups, she co-founded and co-launched Black & Gold, a Consumer Branding, Digital, and Innovation agency, to great success.
In addition to her background in marketing consultancy, Muriel has enjoyed working as a volunteer for a French charity in London. There, she headed the Cultural Events’ Group and was responsible for organising and coordinating over 80 different events a year.
The idea of creating LearnArtory emerged from comments and feedbacks received over the years, such as:
- “I would love to attend a talk in English, but I am not sure I would understand everything…”
- “I would love to take part in a guided tour in French, but I never get the chance to practice the language and so fear I may be getting a little too rusty…”
From this, Muriel had the idea of combining language practice and cultural activities, with a particular emphasis on History and Art. Keenly motivated by the concept of actively associating Language with Culture, she sought the advice of professionals and was quickly able to gather a team ready to bring this project to life.
