I was born in 1980 in Amiens (75 miles north of Paris).

I studied applied arts at L.Thuillier college in Amiens (4 years generalists in architecture, apparel, industrial design and visual communication).
Then I studied industrial design at the Institut Supérieur de Design in Valenciennes (5 years specialized in furniture and consumer goods).

In 2004 I started as a freelance designer.
I have also taught 3D/CAD design at the Ecole Supérieure d'Arts Appliqués in Troyes.

For many years I am interested in a wide variety of creative fields and I keep this versatility at work.
I work well both independently and as a team member.
Finally I have good knowledge for production requirements.
