This month’s alumni spotlight is all about bold choices, unexpected paths, and the freedom to reinvent yourself after ESEO. From board game design to hybrid retail spaces and international tech leadership, these graduates prove that an engineering background doesn’t limit your future—it expands it. Their careers reflect creativity, resilience, and the courage to build something truly unique.
Aliénor SIMON--GUSCHEMANN (ESEO 2020) & Quentin PILLOT (ESEO 2019), co-founders of the creative studio Les Ingérables, have just launched the pre-order campaign for Zoïko, their first public board game, on Ulule.
Zoïko is a fast, beautifully illustrated card game designed to raise awareness about biodiversity by letting players build and protect their own ecosystems. With its educational value, eco-responsible production, and strong early support, the game reflects their mission to make science fun, engaging, and accessible to all.
Their path is a bold and original one—far from traditional engineering—but shows how ESEO alumni can reinvent themselves, bridging science, creativity, and education in impactful new ways.
