Description

Interior Architect — Design of Restaurants, Shops & Experience Venues

I design spaces from A to Z for the restaurant, retail, and hospitality sectors: from concept to delivery, integrating consistency between brand identity and the actual functioning of the space from the initial sketch.

My background is twofold — eight years as Senior Brand Manager at Pernod Ricard (Absolut, Havana Club, G.H. Mumm), followed by retraining in interior architecture at École Boulle. This experience on the brand side changes how I approach space design: I never start from an empty plan, but from an intention — who should experience this place, and how.

Latest project: Bravo Pasta - design and site supervision of a 27 m² restaurant in Paris, from concept to custom furniture.

In addition to design, I can provide technical support (concept brief, plans, 3D modeling, preliminary design, detailed design, tender documents, using AutoCAD, SketchUp, Twinmotion) for agencies needing temporary capacity, or offer consulting services to translate a brand positioning into spatial design choices.

Based in Paris, available for short or long-term assignments.
