About Gaia

Graduated in Industrial Design from Strate in 2018 and self-employed since 2017, I have had the opportunity to work with small and large companies in various fields:

- Design of furniture ranges and urban lighting
- Connected object design
- Children's playground design
- Lighting design
- Mobile application and website design
- Logo and branding design
- Illustration (digital and print)
- Craft/upcycling projects (woodworking, textiles, and resin)
- Prototyping of lighting for public spaces


🔹 My Methodology

1/ Research
Each assignment has its specificities. This stage allows for a full understanding of the story and challenges behind the project to define the specifications.

· Definition of intentions
· Questionnaires
· Mood boards
· Benchmarking

2/ Creative Thinking
I let creativity run free. At this stage, technical details are not addressed, but a reflection on materials and manufacturing techniques is planned to facilitate the next steps.

· Sketches
· Product ecosystem
· Storyboards / usage scenarios
· Color/material palettes
· 3D modeling
· Concept mock-ups

3/ Product Development
Here, the final product is built, and deliverables are determined by the client.

· Technical drawings
· 3D renderings
· Technical exploded views
· Infographics
· Usage scenario
· Functional mock-up

4/ Prototyping & Industrialization Follow-up
Establishing transparent and proactive communication is vital. Once the prototype is validated, manufacturing follow-up will ensure that all project stakeholders are aligned with the constraints.

· Contacting potential partners (France / international)
· Support during manufacturing
