Description

Having worked in fitting out for over 15 years, I decided to create my own sole proprietorship.

My first experience led me to work for 6 years in the design office of a fitting-out company, in direct contact with the integrated wood and Corian workshop of the establishment, to design custom-made furniture and series, all materials, for various clients.

I developed Excel spreadsheets to assist with ordering and site preparation. I participated in the implementation of the design part of the Swood software for designing and machining furniture.

I then joined an architecture firm where I was assigned to the Corner furniture concept for the development and deployment of international projects.

Finally, I joined a fitting-out company as a designer, preparer, and estimator. My main mission was to implement design software with automation of machining in the workshop. The project was carried out with Solidworks and Swood.

Thanks to my experience, I am capable of designing furniture on various software, whether custom-made for high-end fitting out or furniture ranges for series production.

I develop these furniture ranges on Sketchup with the Vray plugin for quick, realistic rendering preparation during the preliminary design phase (APS) of retail projects.

I have also developed custom tools for project organization using Excel files or a Filemaker database that allows project management with the possibility of creating quotes, invoices, and team schedules.

I am capable of carrying out projects in French and English.
