As a cross cultural designer, I lived and worked in Switzerland, Paris, New York, Mexico and Lisbon. During the last 12 years, I worked as a Menswear Designer for small brands to big corporations as Surface to Air or Coach. Thorough the years, I have been able to work in a lot of different work environments or product range, from France to the US, streetwear to Luxury RTW, Show to Outlet. Highly efficient and focused on managing calendar and deadlines, I successfully led teams during high demand seasons and managed special projects with artists like Kid Cudi, Chromeo, Gary Baseman, the Keith Haring foundation or Disney. I am now based in Lisbon and focus on responsible and sustainable projects bringing my expertise to create a positive impact on the industry, society and the planet and help other designers or brands to do so. I want to be part of the change and to be creative about it!
