Industry Experience

Education, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Consumer Goods
    uniE613 KIT - Medical textiles
    Project : In 2018 a law was passed in France to ban wearing gowns with only one closure in the neck that does not protect the intimate parts of patients. Kit regroups the necessities distributed to patients on their arrival at the hospital. It contains various disposable items: a gown, a hairnet, a pair of slippers, underwear and a washcloth. Development : For this project, I studied and rethought the kit given to patients upon arrival at the hospital. Developed with the support of medical professionals and patients, the design aims to minimize production costs and allow as many items as possible to be recycled after use. The one-piece gown is designed to protect the intimate parts of the patient better and ease the process of dressing and medical interventions.
    uniE613 Beach Access System - Urban Design
    Project : In 2005, a French law required public spaces to be accessible to all by 2015. However, the seashore, due to its sensitive nature, was exempt from city-level measures. This system allows year-round access to sand and water for everyone, including those with reduced mobility, while maintaining boundaries between transit and preservation areas. It consists of three types of wooden flooring and steel elements designed for easy movement and durability in harsh coastal conditions. Development : To develop this project, I collaborated with municipalities and seashore associations to understand the area's specific constraints. I designed a flexible system offering tailored solutions for different locations, ensuring accessibility while protecting preserved areas. After testing with cardboard and plastic models, I built a full-scale prototype and installed it at Lake Leman to assess its real-world potential.
    uniE613 SIS System - Global Design for Topologie
    Project : The Topologie team asked our office to redesign their shop image and develop a new storage and display system. During our collaboration, our scope expanded beyond the storage solutions. Participation : In this project, I participated in providing consultancy services aimed at enhancing Topologie's brand image. I designed a display and storage system for their stores, contributed to shop and booth space design, and supervised on-site installations in Asia and Europe.
    uniE613 ALT - Table System for FAUST
    Project : This project explored innovative solutions to create configurable tables with central legs. Instead of relying on heavy legs for stability, we used linoleum to form durable conic shapes. This design allowed for integrated cable management and a lightweight delivery system using a portable sand/water tank for stability. Our approach resulted in a versatile design that allows many configurations. Participation : I assisted with this project from the beginning, starting with research and initial sketches, followed by small paper models and 3D analysis for stability. I then helped create full-scale cardboard models and detailed 3D renderings. It allowed our team to collaborate easily with the client to seamlessly integrate the weight into the table leg without compromising its aesthetic.
    uniE613 Initiation au design - Design workshop for Manifact
    Project : In October 2024, I had the chance to join the association Manifact in French Guiana and lead a group of interns in the design field. The aim was to spark their creativity and guide them toward becoming independent in their own projects. Throughout the program, we discussed important topics like sustainability, the responsibility that comes with producing new things, and the importance of care and context in the creative process. As part of the "tremplin numérique" digital program, they explored essential digital tools for design. For their final sewing project, they used digital technical drawings, 3D modeling for pocket closures, digital embroidery machine and shared their progress on social medias.
