Creative and inspired, the objects that I imagine are a use, a context, a story.
Through my experience, my vision and my know-how, I design objects with meaning and usefulness. Each project is seen to grow and evolve throughout its development by following an adapted process.
From toys to furniture, including space planning, my thinking and my ideas give me the freedom to widen the scope of possibilities for projects and areas that I explore.
In addition to my diploma in industrial product design, I then followed a training in cabinetmaking in order to develop my knowledge in woodworking, a material that I particularly like.
Always looking to hone my skills, I like to take on new challenges with rigor and passion.
