About Thomas

🚀 Industrial Designer for over 15 years, I've had the pleasure of supporting over a hundred projects for Startups, SMEs, and Large Corporations (such as Airbus, Véolia, Enedis, CNRS, CNES, etc.), through collaborations offering complete support in the development of their innovative product, from the ideation phase to industrialization support.

⚙️ My mastery of all manufacturing processes (plastic injection, sheet metal, casting, extrusion, thermoforming, etc.) allows me to work in various fields, such as robotics, medical, aeronautics, mass retail, IoT, public lighting, and urban furniture.

✍️ An iterative approach, offering tailor-made support according to constraints:
- **Ideation**: Creation of specifications including needs analysis, competitor analysis, trends, technical, ergonomic, functional, environmental, or economic issues.
- **Design**: Proposals of one or more creative concepts.
- **Mechanical Design**: CAD development of the chosen path, integrating all product-related constraints (technical, ergonomic, regulatory, sealing, resistance, etc.).
- **Prototyping**: Creation of one or more prototypes to validate the design.
- **User Testing**: In-situ testing to ensure the product fully meets user expectations.
- **Industrialization Support**: Research and communication with manufacturers suitable for mass production.

🤝 Collaborating together also provides access to my extensive network of partners and service providers (+150 contacts) for small, medium, or large-scale production. This ensures project monitoring and meets the most specific needs, regardless of the field of intervention.
