Currently working as a Project Manager in luxury leather goods, I lead the development of new products from prototype to production, in close collaboration with artisans and technical teams. I work across several departments and ensure the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. Previously, I spent more than 5 years as the Product Manager at Lafont Paris, where I developed their eyewear collections — a role that gave me solid experience in managing creative and technical development processes in a design-driven industry. I also had the chance to work for 6 months at Christian Dior Couture where I was involved in the development of the leather goods collections. This further strengthened my appeal to the luxury and fashion industry. I graduated as valedictorian in 2018 from a Master's degree at the European Business School Paris. I am now looking for new challenges!
