I am an apparel designer with 8+ years of experience, in France (home country) and abroad (Netherlands and United States). 

After graduating from Creapole design school in Paris in 2014, I started working within an independent design agency. I had the opportunity to work on numerous projects from trend reports, to graphic design, to product creation. This pushed me to always be more resourceful and proactive to get the work done in the best possible way. This also allowed me to be flexible  in my work process and elevate my skills on many different levels. 

In 2015, I joined Nike as part of the Center Of Design Excellence, which was a great opportunity to envision the bigger picture for the company. My mission was to create new concepts around which the global seasonal directions would be built. I was the lead designer for all the women’s products for both AAE and ESC lines. This experience have helped me gain a sharper self-awareness of my strengths, both from a creative and strategic level. 

I like to think design as a whole and complete process, from the initial thought to the final product and beyond. It is important to me to make the consumer feel the emotion and care I have put in my designs, every detail should be thoughtful and intended to best serve the vision of the brand and create an emotional connection to the consumer. 

I am curious and always eager to learn new methods of make or new design processes, to innovate and deliver smarter design solutions.
