About Yu

I’m Yu-hsuan Kuo – photographer, visual designer, and life coach.

I moved from Taipei to Paris in 2015 to pursue my creative dreams. Along the way, I navigated language barriers, career uncertainty, cultural adaptation, and even personal setbacks. Over the past 10 years, I built my creative career from scratch, secured French nationality, and discovered how to truly thrive here.

Now, I help photographers and designers do the same — with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging.

Who I help

  • Creatives planning to move to France

  • Creatives already in France but feeling stuck in career or life direction

  • Those facing cultural adaptation and communication challenges

  • Anyone wanting clarity, confidence, and a thriving creative life
