I am a Design Researcher with a multidisciplinary practice. After graduated in Graphic Design at Besançon (France) and in Textile Design at E.S.AA.T. (Upper School Applied Arts and Textile), I spent some times in Belgium and in Danemark where I was introduced to sustainable design methods. I decided then to work towards the development of bio-based and responsive materials, to achieve better ecological performance through the practice of Biodesign. 

In 2019, I joined the first promotion of MA Biodesign, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. During this time, my research has evolved into a cross-disciplinary practice at the intersections of science, technology, bio-fabrication and regenerative design, with a particular interest in bioremediation. 

 

In 2022, I joined the group of research Soft Matters, within the EnsadLab at the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, as a Biodesign Research assistant. Working exclusively on the ImpressioVivo project, I developed my biodesign skills in biomaterials 3D-prints as well as in microbiology and biocalcification.
 

As a biodesigner, my goal is to work beyond disciplinary boundaries in order to promote common sustainable issues and to provide comprehensive design proposals which can aid in tackling global problems. I believe that adopting a cross-disciplinary approach, by integrating different fields of study and a collective intelligence, will allow us to find considerate solutions.
