About
After being employed in a french company specialised into bathroom furniture and accessories, I decided to create my own design studio, Tomato Design in 2006.
After 5 great years, working with nice (and very diverse) companies and people, I decided to leave France to continue innovating through design but with the canadian way.
Different culture, approach, skills, feeling ... New challenges are great !
The first quebecer experience was great, I joined the Morelli Designers team in 2011.
It allowed me to develop my technical skills, and constantly sharing both approaches (north american vs european)
