Open to opportunities
I'm a Senior Color, Material, and Print Designer with over 15 years of experience in the fashion lifestyle and footwear markets. Skilled in managing end-to-end design processes, from concept to final product validation. I've taught design classes and workshops at universities like ESMOD in Lyon, where I also serve as a jury member for student projects. My career covers a wide range of brands, categories, and sectors, giving me diverse experience across multiple industries
My goal is to join a forward-thinking fashion company where I can lead and inspire teams, share my expertise, and drive design that aligns with both brand vision and market trends. To push creative limits further, I'm also starting an AI course to expand my skill set and explore new possibilities in design.
