The creator

The art of paper has always been in my heart. So it was as naturally as possible that I came back to my first loves: paper, drawing and words.

Meet Corinne

Akoz - Paper goods & stationery

Hi, I'm Corinne – your creator

You’ll usually find me in my home office juggling between web design and creating new art stuff with my cup of hot cocoa and music playing all day long.

On the other days, you can find me hanging around with my “Where is Waldo” hubby, my butter half.

I am also a cashew nut enthusiast (salted roasted please), a wannabe hip-hop dancer (when I’m not wrong foot) and an avid collector of jars and notebook (because I hate plastic and adore paper).

I grew up in the Ardennes, a countryside area of East of France (in a little town of 80 inhabitants et 1800 cows) called Louvergny with nature and pure dark starry sky at my fingertips.

I am thankful to be the daughter of a hand-craft passionate family. My father built the entire house with a passion for wood crafting & my mother taught me all needlework. In our house, as in my life with my own family, we love hand and home-made products, from the wall to what we had in our plate for dinner (I can bake you a delicious bread if you want).

I am a self-taught in art (all these Wednesday afternoon – sorry mom you thought I was doing my homework). I paint mostly with watercolor but I used to do lot of acrylic too. I have recently learn lettering and rediscover calligraphy.

I love using my curiosity and staying tuned on new technics. What I want to do ? Try a local workshop each time I travel !

I am convinced that, in a world of technology (trust the web designer I am), paper goods are not dead and become a piece of art!

Fun facts

I am a Notebook and paper lover, you know the soft and smooth one…

I am not a coffee lover but a hot cocoa person (the best one is in NZ - the Little Denzel)

I am Mrs Tickle and I love to tickle my hubby & he’s fed up of all my bad puns… Sorry Nico!

My favorite season is Autumn with the lovely red colors. Such a shame in the eternal summer Singapore!

I always have something to read on me but I prefer physical books, new, old, all of them…

AKOZ [akoz] conj. – Reunionese Creole for ‘because of’ or ‘why’.
Ex : Mi descend bord’mèr akoz zordi nena bon solèy - I go to the beach because today the sun shine.

Why Akoz ?

Akoz is the project of a lifetime. A project that was born out of a long journey of reflection, doubts, trials and failures, but above all of learning. With Akoz, we want to take on this crazy project of making our creations, objects and stationery to use every day.
