About

I am Senior Creative consultant and Print Designer with a confirmed experience in high fashion while pursuing my personal artistic work. My training at the Beaux-Arts of Bordeaux in Design and in fashion at the ESAA Duperré in Paris, have allowed me from the beginning of my career to intervene in different creative fields. This versatility combined with a precise aesthetic have oriented me in industry towards the German founded brand BLESS and for more than ten years as an iconographer, colorist and print-designer with the designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista at his namesake brand followed by his direction at the French houses of Lacoste and Kenzo. However, during this time, I did not give up my own artistic research, continuing to use all types of mediums and techniques, from drawing to photography, from collage to video, from ceramics to textiles, painting and installation. Last year, I was back in Japan for several months to work on my personal research related to fabric, architecture, and art. I was invited to do exhibitions, one of them Fuji Textile Week under the direction of Fumio Nanjo. The last few years have shown me and my clients the importance and richness that these practices bring to each other.
