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, exploring different approaches to design both in agencies and as an in-house designer for manufacturers.

​

In 2010, I joined the family communication agency Médiane, where I contributed to the development of graphic design projects but also initiated and grew the product design activity.


In 2017, I chose to fully dedicate myself to my passion: product design.


Since then, I have been working as a consultant for Belgian and cross-border companies, mainly in the outdoor sector, bringing my expertise to creative, innovative and sustainable projects.
