Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

From Companion of Duty to automotive design centers, I have learned to reconcile aesthetic requirements and technical constraints, and to shape complex, organic, or technical forms.

Sectors change, requirements remain. I know my craft and the attention to detail that separates a good product from a remarkable one.

Based in Annecy, I am looking to work with local stakeholders — to bring my know-how and learn yours.

September 2016 - Today (9 years and 9 months)
Annecy, France
Founder and president since 2017. ONE-OFF intervenes where technical requirement meets the exceptional object — each project is unique, each surface counts.

Automotive & heritage: complete reconstruction of mythical bodies (Talbot Lago Goutte d'Eau 1938, Peugeot 905, Porsche 550A Le Mans), design for Devalliet, Blitz Nine-T, Blacktrack for Sacha Lakic. From chassis 3D scan to Class A surface ready for tooling.

High jewelry: high-precision modeling for Dior, Cartier, Chanel, and Fendi. Interpretation of sketches, models ready for lost-wax casting and castable printing. Every prong, every setting modeled to the micron.

Sports & performance: design of Bastien Montès' aerodynamic helmet (world speed skiing record), scan of the Voxan Wattman for Venturi (11 electric motorcycle speed world records).

Art & creation: collaborations with MIA 3D, Bernard Dubble, Nathalie Elemento, Caroline Dechamby — digitization, modeling.

September 2007 - September 2013 (6 years)
Maranello, Italy
Member of the first French team at the Ferrari design center in Maranello. Arrived as a contractor in 2007, hired in 2008.
For 6 years, I modeled in Class A exterior and interior surfaces on the brand's most emblematic projects: Ferrari 458 Italia, California, 599GTO, 599XX, and LaFerrari.

My role: translate designers' intentions into mathematically perfect surfaces — from the initial sketch to final validation for tooling. Curvature continuity, light lines, absolute respect for the stylistic intention.

This requirement has become my standard for every project since.

September 1999 - September 2007 (8 years)
Vélizy-Villacoublay, France
Eight years in an automotive style office, at the heart of the design of production vehicles and the most ambitious concept cars of the time.

At Duarte Technologie (2003-2007): formal research and Class A modeling for Renault, PSA, Venturi, and Voxan. Clio III, Citroën C4 projects.

At Bertrand SA (1999-2003): Class A modeling on ICEM Surf and CATIA V4 for Renault and PSA. Clio 2, Scénic, Citroën C3.

The daily life of a modeler in an engineering office: rigor, tight deadlines, zero approximation on surfaces.
It was during these years that I built the technical foundations that opened the doors to Ferrari for me — mastery of ICEM Surf, reading a sketch, and the ability to deliver an impeccable Class A surface under pressure.
