CAREER HISTORY

After my studies of industrial design in the National School of Art - La Cambre - Brussels, I built up substantial experience, in Belgium and abroad. I got the opportunity to discover how design works in practice, firstly through agencies, and also by working as an in-house designer at manufacturers.


I joined the family communication agency Médiane at the start of 2010. Besides the graphic projects, I  launched the industrial design business. 

Start 2017, I get out of Médiane to devote myself entirely to product design.

Since then I have been working as a consultant mainly for Belgian and cross-border companies in the outdoor sector.

Après mes études de design industriel à l'Ecole Nationale des Arts Visuels de La Cambre à Bruxelles, j'acquiers mes premières expériences, en Belgique et à l'étranger. J'ai l'occasion de découvrir différentes pratiques du design, en agence mais aussi en tant que designer interne chez des fabricants.

Début 2010, je rejoins l'agence de communication familiale Médiane.

Outre le développement de projets graphiques, j'y lance l'activité de design industriel.

Début 2017, je me retire de Médiane pour me consacrer entièrement au design industriel.

Depuis, je travaille en consultance principalement pour des entreprises belges et transfrontalières dans le secteur outdoor.
