[ABOUT _ ME]
WHERE IDEAS COME TO LIFE
From a young age, the open road and finely crafted cars ignited my passion for automotive design. I was fortunate enough to experience road trips in some of the world’s finest machines, and these early encounters sparked a lifelong fascination with cars. I found myself constantly sketching, striving to merge aesthetics with functionality in fresh and innovative ways.
Though my career initially led me down an 18-year path in finance, my passion for car design never waned. Fuelled by this relentless dream, I made the bold decision to shift gears and fully immerse myself in the world I’ve always loved. Today, I am a proud MA graduate in Automotive and Transport Design from Coventry University, where I refined my skills and deepened my knowledge of vehicle creation, both as an art and a science.
I thrive on challenging conventional thinking, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible to unlock new realms of creativity.
As I write this new chapter as a car designer, I am eager to fuse my love for pure, dynamic forms, aerodynamics and sustainability, and to contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of automotive innovation.
My mission is clear: to create vehicles that not only captivate the eye but also win the heart, convince the mind, and challenge the status quo in both design and performance.
Let’s create a new path together!
EDUCATION
Master of Arts in Automotive and Transport Design from Coventry University.

Bachelor in Transportation and Mobility Design from Creapole ESDI.
WORK EXPERIENCE
I have 2 years of practical experience as a freelance and intern in various missions and projects.
Currently, I hybridly work as a Freelance Exterior and Interior Design Assistant on various confidential (under NDA) vehicle projects.
During this mission, I am completing the following tasks ;
- Work within the Advanced Concept team in all the steps from initial ideas to final concept,
- Support concept design meetings (formal or ad-hoc), with design proposals and ideas,
- Share ideas and support all levels of design and development progression, at all stages of the design and development process,
- Generate and present ideas and concepts through different medias;
- Hand and/or digital sketches,
- Adobe Photoshop renders,
- Autodesk Alias NURBS and SUBDIV initial models,
- Cooperate with other departments (3D modellers, clay modellers, CMF, engineers, management, communication) in a multicultural and multi-site environment.
During my studies, I also had practical experience as a Transport Designer during a 4-month Industry Collaborative Project between Coventry University and JCB and a three-month internship in a micro-mobility startup in Geneva
.
These experiences provided me with hands-on knowledge and insights into the practical aspects of design within the transportation industry. They also honed my ability to communicate efficiently with all stakeholders involved in the projects.
In addition, my previous 18-year career in finance and accounting in a variety of companies and environments and as an entrepreneur, has provided me with a unique perspective on the financial and organisational aspects of a business, allowing for informed design decisions and contributing to strategic management and leadership practices.
Throughout my professional experience, I have embraced collaboration for excellence, working effectively with multidisciplinary and multicultural teams and industry professionals to ensure the highest standards.
I am adaptable, open to embracing new technologies, and believe in delivering long-term value for customers, stakeholders, and the planet. I can work at a fast pace and in challenging circumstances, ensuring the effective delivery of projects.
