Biography
To introduce myself briefly, I am a versatile Junior designer with one year experience working in a leading branding and design agency in London.
To go more into details I am originally from Strasbourg, France. I lived in Edinburgh for 4 years where I studied multidisciplinary design. Being a highly creative individual and the course being highly conceptual I really enjoyed myself and worked hard on creating work that leaves a mark. Passionate about design and eager to develop my skills I decided to move down to London, live on the bread line for a while and get some placement experience under my belt, which at the end paid of as I got to work for one year at Landor Associates. At Landor I was working as part of the Branded experience team assisting with the design of interiors for restaurants, shops and more.

D&AD Clock Design
A working prototype of a mobile, lamp and clock. When lit this suspension of different elements projects the shadow of a clock on the wall.
For the design of this clock I was mainly inspired by the work of Shigeo Fukuda and American artist Alexander Calder.
