About

Founder of Léclisse, where I create “Objets-à-porter” at the crossroads of accessories, leather goods and collectible design, bringing together leather savoir-faire, material innovation and a design vision shaped by both industry and craft. Alongside, I consult as a product & CMF designer for clients in the luxury and creative industries — spanning accessories & leather goods, cosmetics, automotive, and consumer goods — bridging creative direction, materials expertise and trend forecasting with hands-on design skills (3D modeling & rendering, prototyping, material sourcing and development). My background in industrial and product design sets me apart from traditional fashion paths : I combine strategic vision with technical expertise, crafting singular projects from concept to object.
