About

I’ve spent more than 28 years working in creative environments around the world. I started with seven years at the Boulle art school in Paris, coming from a chair-maker background with an art history diploma and a master’s degree in Industrial Design focused on cabinetry and product development. My mentors were Jean-Claude Neyton and Michel Cadestin. I began my career designing outdoor furniture for Allibert and then worked with several Parisian agencies as a Designer and Interior Designer.

From 2001 I led design studios for Kohler across regions including India, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, building teams, expanding product portfolios and presenting new collections. In 2023 I joined CBA Meubles as Art Director, driving team growth, product strategy and the launch of new collections through events, literature and digital channels. I’m passionate about storytelling through design, crafting experiences that blend heritage with modern living.
