APPROACH
With a master's degree from Italy from Polimoda, Marie-Michèle developed a human behaviour approach of trend research (emotional forecasting). More than a simple personality trait, the deep needs of humans are reflected in their choices.  There are several warning signs announcing emerging attitudes but in the current context of immediacy and information overload, it is difficult to decipher the true from the false, and to anticipate these future trends. 

HER DREAM is that every Canadian organisation is able to anticipate the future needs of its market
