About Alexandre

With 8 years of training in Applied Arts and Design, holding a DSAA in Product Design and a Master's degree in Research in Innovation, Design, and Engineering, I navigate between theory and practice.
Naturally curious, I strive to be a designer who is creative, innovative, and responsible.

With 8 years of professional experience post-graduation, I have already worked in fields such as furniture and textile design, emergency medical design, household appliances and small objects, collaborative workspaces, and scientific mediation.


Thus, through encounters and projects, I continue to develop my essential skills:
- Monitoring and Exploration (site visits and observations, observational sketches and photo reports, trend monitoring and sampling)
- Intensive Research (Drawing, simple formal mock-ups)
- Modeling (3D models -Rhino/Fusion 360-, 3D renders in Keyshot)
- Mock-up and Rapid Prototyping (3D printing, Laser cutting, Thermoforming, classic workshop mock-ups)
- Communication (composition, written argumentation, Adobe CC, photography, and video)

Never dogmatic, I enjoy testing and applying methods to ensure the richness and relevance of a project:
- Design Thinking
- Design Fiction
- Design Sprint
- C-K Theory
- User-Centered Design
- Inclusive Design

These methods, which I view as "design exercises," allow me to simplify and convey my intentions to a project team. For me, doing is as important as transmitting.
This "atomized" and hierarchical view of my work allows me to adapt easily to any type of project.

Aware of the designer's role in the impact products have on our societies, I am slowly but surely moving towards a more ethical, sustainable, and resilient approach to design.

Additionally, I regularly undertake illustration and graphic design assignments.
