She subsequently launched her own studio, home to her art practice and portfolio of works across genres including performance, visual arts, film, and design. Additionally to her personal work, Dauphin performs for and produces other artists, focusing on independent features and auteurs. Dauphin is married to Charles-Henri de La Rochefoucauld. They both founded Dauphin Films, a production company under which they have produced several internationally acclaimed features. This includes Bergman Island by French independent film director Mia Hansen-Love, Eleanor the Great (2020) by Oscar nominated American actress Scarlett Johansson, or Dark Inclusion by French Oscar and Golden Globe winning director and screenwriter Arthur Harari, both in their directorial debut.
