FOR WHOM?

Are you an entrepreneur, business owner, or designer and need help with product design / prototyping?

Do you need a 3D software trainer? Are you looking to lead a design workshop with students?

FOR WHAT?

Do you want to improve an existing product? Do you have a concept idea to bring to life? Do you want to integrate eco-design and choose sustainable or recycled materials? Do you want to create 3D renderings of your ideas? A model or a technical drawing?

HOW?

I use design tools, collective intelligence, and digital manufacturing to help you bring your ideas to life. I can imagine a product with you from A to Z. From generating initial concepts with sketches to the prototype, including 3D renderings or industrial plans.

I break down my projects into 3 phases:

→ Analysis: understanding uses and needs, analyzing existing products

→ Research: creative proposals, sketches, cardboard models, etc.

→ Development: selecting an idea, 3D modeling, plans, prototypes, etc.

WHO AM I?

Product designer, working in the fablab environment for 10 years. First and foremost creative, I am a pedagogical person who takes the time to support. I like to find meaning in my missions and I am sensitive to many fields (furniture, interior decoration, technology, disability, crafts, art, low-tech).

WHO AM I NOT?

→ A graphic designer who creates illustrations or logos

→ An engineer who develops a product ready for mass production

→ A digital UX / UI designer who creates an app or a website
