Co-founder. Designer & Materials Specialist
Paris, France
Sep 2020 - Present (4 years 3 months)
Independent designer at Ydemaker, an agency specialized in industrial design and CMF (Colors, Materials and Surface Finishes) with a strong focus on sustainable development, LCA and eco-design.
Among the more traditional design tasks (concept ideation, product development, etc), I also help brands to revalue waste, through an innovative approach that combines design, LCA study and R&D of tailor-made materials according to customers requirements.
I am also in charge of identifying and establishing a network of partners in order to be able to give customers an "on-demand" ready to launch design solution.
