About Nicolas

Industrial designer, I design products that strike the right balance between intention, usage, and industrial reality.

Through my studio, I support brands, startups, and design teams in developing coherent products, from the initial thinking phases to their realization. My approach is based on a fine understanding of usage and a desire to simplify without impoverishing: getting to the essentials, while maintaining a strong focus on details, proportions, and the overall perception.

I am particularly involved in the upstream phases, where structuring decisions are made: framing, creative direction, product architecture. But I remain just as committed to implementation, with constant attention to feasibility, materials, and manufacturing processes.

My skills cover:
- Product Design & Industrial Development
- 3D Design / CAD (modeling, surfaces, rendering)
- Prototyping & Rapid Validation
- User-Centered Design & Ergonomics
- Material & Process Selection (plastic, metal, assembly)
- Industrialization Optimization (DFM / DFA)

My work lies at the intersection of strategic design and concrete development, with a pragmatic and collaborative approach. I enjoy integrating with teams, challenging ideas, and moving projects forward clearly and effectively.
