About

"Design is an alchemy between empathy, creation, poetry and pragmatism".

I just graduated of a Master degree of industrial design, services and management from International School of Design in Valenciennes (FRANCE) with first class honors .

I am gaining from my various professional experiences in different countries (France, Switzerland, Denmark) :

Industrial Vehicles, (Renault Trucks), tailored-made furniture (Allize Plasturgie), luxury watches design agency (Etude de Style) and high-end automotive sound system (Bang & Olufsen).

I am currently working as a freelance industrial designer.

Always looking for new challenges, I am curious and highly motivated on every projects.

I am particulary interested in working on long-lasting products, by creating a strong and timeless design, using adapted process and materials to tell a story.
