About Damien

Interior architect specialized in retail and high-end fittings, with 25 years of experience, including 13 years at TAG Heuer (LVMH) as Store Design Director. I have managed store projects on 5 continents, from design to construction — concept stores, rollouts, pop-ups, flagships.
Sensitive to sustainability issues, I systematically integrate eco-responsible approaches into my projects: material selection, resource optimization, modular and reversible design.
I work freelance on assignments for AutoCAD technical drawing, fitting-out project coordination, retail concept development, and execution monitoring. Available quickly, remotely or for occasional travel.
