Description

Designer for over 15 years, I put my creativity at the service of the brand for which I work.

I can also bring you my expertise in knitwear and my sense of organization.

I can manage a collection from Moodboard research to shipping samples, including collection repetitions (SMS). My work is characterized above all by the search for detail and quality. I like to work on refined products. I always find the "little extra" that will trigger the "coup de coeur".

I am motivated, cheerful and I mainly like to work in a team.
