About

Freelance jewellery designer with 10+ years of experience across luxury, fashion and fine jewellery. Ex-fashion jewellery and headwear designer for 9 years at Louis Vuitton’s Womenswear studio. I specialise in creative direction, collection development and high‑end design, with a sharp eye for narrative and detail. I support maisons and emerging brands from concept to creation: from moodboards and visual research to coherent collections and refined, production‑ready pieces. My work combines strong storytelling, sculptural volumes and meticulous craftsmanship. I am also the Founder & Creative Director of a poetic, nature‑inspired jewellery brand, crafted in France using traditional savoir‑faire and responsible production partners. Open to freelance missions and creative collaborations worldwide.
