Dorian Étienne

👨‍🎓 Independent traveler-designer, I combine craftsmanship and industry in my work through a humanistic and eco-responsible design approach. I assist companies and individuals in their projects for the development of products, spaces, or brands: furniture, tableware, crafts, luxury, fashion, well-being, interior design, material research and development, etc.

I help you develop sustainable projects, "well thought out and well finished":

🔍 Identifying your needs, constraints, and challenges, determining the target audience, personas, etc.

💡 Project ideation (sketches of several proposals), analysis of the existing situation, inspiration boards / mood boards / concept boards, positioning with specifications, etc.

🚀 Development of the chosen direction post-meeting, creation of high-quality images (3D modeling and rendering), technical drawings (geometrical plans), exploded views of the object, project visualization, verbalization of the product and concept, etc.

🔧 Volumetric mock-ups and prototyping (3D printing / CNC / laser cutting), 3D video animation (product deployment and assembly), photo shoots (packshots, lifestyle images), packaging, etc.

🤝 Follow-up, support, and development through to production!

Based in nearby or distant territories, I observe cultures and histories, techniques and materials. The richness of global cultural heritage inspires me throughout my projects. Following this thread woven with Humanity and Nature, I create sensitive and meaningful products: "mixed-race objects".

Experimentation is also my creative tool. Indeed, the characteristics and limits of materials are for me a "library of ideas". Fundamentally, my approach is based on respect for the environment and people.
