Bonjour, I’m Clémentine, aka Turbochat!, an artist and craftswoman born in 1987 in Saint-Dié, a quaint town in the Vosges region of France, where I still reside with my elderly cats, cozy wool sweaters, and towering stacks of books that always seem ready to collapse. My life has been a winding path, filled with struggles, particularly when it comes to mental health.
For years, I battled with depression and anxiety, making it nearly impossible to fit into a “normal” job. I tried and failed at so many jobs, feeling lost and out of place, until finally, into my thirties, I decided to turn my lifelong love for art and craft into my main source of income. Since childhood, I’ve been creating nonstop—it was time to embrace that passion fully.
