Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

My background has allowed me to develop a very comprehensive approach combining artistic direction, collection development, and technical execution. I work on creative research (mood boards, inspirations, sketches) as well as product development (technical drawings, spec sheets, material sourcing, pattern making, prototyping) and production monitoring.

Used to managing multiple projects in parallel, I am comfortable in dynamic environments where responsiveness, organization, and attention to detail are essential. I enjoy building a global vision as much as delving into the technical details of a garment.

My goal is to bring ideas to life by ensuring a balance between creativity, feasibility, and the quality of the final result.

My role consisted of supporting the development of the collection from initial research to production. I created mood boards and conducted iconographic research to define the aesthetic universe and inspirations for the project.
I also participated in the design phase by creating sketches and drawings, followed by technical drawings necessary for understanding and developing the pieces. I also designed the spec sheets, detailing essential information for prototyping and production.
In parallel, I was in charge of material sourcing, selecting the most suitable fabrics and components for the collection's identity and the technical constraints of the models.
I then worked on pattern making and prototyping of the pieces. Finally, I participated in production monitoring with the workshop, ensuring the correct execution of the models, as well as organizing photo shoots, thus contributing to the final presentation of the collections.
