\nWell, in a few words\u2026 I\u2019m 55 years old, married, and the proud mum of a wonderful 23-year-old daughter!!!!
\nI was born in Paris, but I\u2019ve been living in the south of France for a long, long time\u2026 I truly feel like a southerner at heart.
\nI spent 15 years working at a design studio as a textile graphic designer, mainly focusing on the children\u2019s world.
\nCreativity has always been a part of my everyday life\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
It was my best friend and business partner, Nathalie, who got me started on this adventure. She did a lot of embroidery and thought that my work and my own distinctive style would be a perfect fit for embroidery.
And so, 20 years ago, we created Lilipoints!
The \u201cLI\u201d was simply the syllable our two first names had in common, which is how we came up with LILI.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
I discovered graphic design when I joined an advertising design studio straight after finishing my studies. Very quickly, it became more of a passion than just a job.
I was lucky enough to work in the fashion industry, particularly in children\u2019s fashion, which was a wonderful experience\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Our very first collection was \u201cThe Children\u2019s Collection\u201d \u2014 which is hardly surprising, given my background!!!!
And the very first design was E001, \u201cMy Daisy Friend\u201d.
I still can\u2019t help smiling a little whenever I see it pop up in our orders. It\u2019s still selling well, despite its grand old age!!!!<\/p>\n
When you create, whether it\u2019s something big or small, you feel as though you\u2019re moving forward, that you\u2019re truly alive. It\u2019s a constant process of questioning yourself, but also of building something along the way.
Every day is different, and that\u2019s what makes it so exciting and inspiring!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.lilipoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Atelier-2.jpg\" "\\"Studio")

Designing for embroidery comes with very few technical constraints, and you can see the results of your work quite quickly. I love playing with colours, different shades of thread and a variety of textures.
There\u2019s so much freedom in this art form\u2026<\/p>\n
In everyday life! Quite simply\u2026
I\u2019m very observant, and I read lots of fashion and interior design magazines. When you know how to look, you can\u2019t help but be influenced by what you see around you.
A few months ago, I created \u201cLe P\u2019tit Lait Fraise\u201d (Strawberry Milkshake). I had fallen head over heels for a gorgeous basket of strawberries at the market! Every single one was as perfect as the next\u2026
I thought I simply couldn\u2019t pass up such a wonderfully graphic and delicious-looking fruit.
It just goes to show that inspiration is impossible to explain\u2026 and that you can find it absolutely everywhere!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
I stitch everything! Nothing goes out without having been stitched first.
I\u2019m very particular about colours. I can even unpick an entire colour and stitch it all over again just to go one tiny shade lighter or darker\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
9\/ Make three wishes?
Wish No. 1: I wish all this piracy and photocopying would stop. It\u2019s a real scourge, both for designers and for shops.
It\u2019s also incredibly disheartening to see your work pirated, stolen or counterfeited\u2026
We designers aren\u2019t big corporations with the resources to absorb these losses and simply write them off as a cost of doing business. The financial impact is much harder for us to deal with, not to mention the emotional side of it all\u2026
I believe some designers will eventually give up because of this\u2026 perhaps one day I\u2019ll be one of them?
Wish No. 2: For Wish No. 1 to come true.
Wish No. 3: For Wish No. 2 to come true!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/www.lilipoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Atelier-1.jpg\" "\\"Studio")

As soon as I\u2019ve finished one collection, I\u2019m already thinking about the next one. So there\u2019s always something in the works\u2026<\/p>\n
I can only thank all the stitchers who appreciate my work and bring it to life so beautifully. Every finished piece is the result of a collaboration between passionate people, and it\u2019s this shared passion that gives my work its true meaning\u2026
So\u2026 thank you!<\/p>\n
