About
Born and raised in northern France, I started to study design in high school, and pursued my education with a master degree in product design.
During my master, I took a gap year to work as a junior designer in Bucharest, Romania in a design studio called Ubikubi (now called Askia).
I then decided to deepened my knowledge in crafts, so I went to study at Konstfack, the university of arts, crafts and design in Stockholm, Sweden.
After graduation from Konstfack, I started to work with Clara von Zweigbergk in her design studio in Stockholm. During my time with Clara I had the chance to work for brands such as HAY, Røros Tweed, Phaidon, Kosta Boda, Holzweiler and Gan Rugs.
I have work with many facets of design process; drawing, 3D modeling, prototyping, building, photographing, editing, presenting, exhibiting and I keep on learning!
