Paris, France
Rooted in the world of luxury and haute couture, I work at the intersection of craftsmanship, design and cultural strategy.
My practice focuses on the transmission and evolution of savoir-faire d’excellence — as a living process shaped by design, collaboration and context.
Through design-led frameworks, I connect artisans, designers and institutions to foster innovation, cultural exchange and long-term impact.
