About

I am a freelance product designer with a strong background in industrial design and competitive alpine ski racing. I translate athlete-level discipline, performance focus, and user-centered research into tangible, high-quality products. I collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and manufacturers to turn insights into feasible design solutions, always aiming for excellence and innovation.

Based in Villars-sur-Glâne, Switzerland, I combine robust sketching, CAD modeling, and prototyping skills with a passion for new materials and construction. I enjoy tackling complex challenges, defining cohesive design directions across collections, and communicating ideas visually to stakeholders to drive successful product launches.

In order to create a dynamic playground, we got inspired by the Californian swimming pools. The water the decides who will be using the place. When the weather is warm, the paddle pool is filled for the younger children. The rest of the time, it is free for skaters. We have a package of three different shapes for the paddle pools. Depending on the size of the playground we can can organize it with one, two or three of them. A line on the ground is linking all the elements together. It jumps out of the ground and dives in the pools in order to enhance the imaginary landscape or show the ideal skating line. The rails are thought to be used as as a sliding element.

Savum is a Swiss brand that offers an innovative and eco-friendly hygiene solution centered around solid soaps and a patented bio-based handle called Cleap. The soap clips securely onto the Cleap handle, providing users with a better grip and enhanced control during use. This innovative system ensures the soap is fully consumed, eliminating the waste typically associated with slippery, unusable remnants of traditional soaps. Additionally, the Cleap handle allows the soap to rest without sticking to surfaces, keeping it clean and dry. A built-in string adds further convenience, enabling the soap to be hung for optimal drying and storage. This project provided an excellent opportunity to focus on design across all elements, including the logo, product, and packaging, ensuring a cohesive and creative outcome.
