Adélaïde Zollinger

Adélaïde Zollinger is the Director of Communications in the Dean's Office at the MIT School of Architecture and Planning. Previously, she was the director of communications for the MIT Morningside Academy for Design, where she amplified design stories across the Institute. 

Originally from France, her professional paths have taken her to five countries — France, Spain, Sweden, Australia, and the United States — and industries ranging from fashion to publishing to professional pastry and food blogging. 

Adélaïde has a B.A. in French modern literature and a B.A. in communications from Sorbonne University in Paris; a master’s degree in brand strategy from Sorbonne University; a master’s degree in writing, editing, and publishing from Paris-Nanterre University; and a professional pastry degree from Alain Ducasse’s School of Higher Studies in Pastry. 

She has a passion for textiles; she knits, crochets, and sews when she isn’t cooking or roaming local antique shops for one-of-a-kind finds with her family.
