Back to original languageAbout Sébastien
Industrial designer & product engineer with over 5 years of experience, I support the development of physical products from idea to market: needs analysis, user research, CAD design, prototyping, technical validation, and industrialization.
My approach combines creativity, attention to detail, and mechanical rigor to transform a concept into a functional, aesthetic, and feasible product. Accustomed to demanding environments, I work at the interface between design, engineering, and manufacturing to create coherent, user-centered solutions.
