Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

“When I grow up, I will design objects.”

It was by listening to my childhood dream that I became a Product Designer.

I like to combine beauty with utility, I like to reconcile technique with innovation, and I like to design all my projects by placing humans at the center of my creative intentions.

With several varied professional experiences, I gradually specialized in watchmaking and jewelry.

As a business owner for six years for my brand, I had the opportunity to acquire a 360-degree vision of my business and expand my role as artistic director. Beyond designing a new model and developing a collection plan, I also have experience in creating various communication materials such as packaging, displays, catalog layout, or newsletter creation.

Passionate, dynamic, and curious, I am particularly attentive to my clients because I know how important it is, when calling on external professionals, to be able to count on them to offer us tailor-made solutions.

See you soon,
