About me
Born and educated in France, I started my creative path in my father's workshop trying to create or improve devices to record my friends and me windsurfing. Years later, I had the opportunity to refine my design skills during the 5-year industrial design program at ISD Rubika and completed internships in Lyon, Istanbul, and Amsterdam. After graduating from ISD Valenciennes, and living in Lille doing freelance work for various design studios, I encountered an exciting opportunity in San Francisco which subsequently started my 12-year journey in the Bay Area.
During my time at both start-ups and multinational corporations, I had the privilege of leading design projects focused on innovation and sustainability. This involved managing complex large-scale projects and delivering optimal design solutions for esteemed clients and partners, including Samsung, HTC, Kohler, and Logitech. Working on innovation-driven projects and developing new product categories with cross-disciplinary teams from engineering, software, and design has ever since been the work that holds the most excitement for me.
As the world becomes increasingly digital, I now want to leverage my decade-long experience in industrial design to transition into UX design, excited to embark on this new chapter and explore how I can contribute to crafting seamless digital experiences. I’m always happy to meet up for a coffee, talk about possible collaborations, or share more about myself and my work. Do not hesitate to get in touch.
