I’m a French-American industrial designer and artist based in San Francisco. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship and functional thinking, I connect this know-how with emerging technologies to create objects with innovative forms and sustainable uses.

Alongside my studio practice, I have conceived and delivered products, artworks and international exhibitions, taking projects from concept through fabrication and installation. I have also taught at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), where I helped students discover how art thinking can open new directions in design.
