Laurence BOURGHOL

PARIS

En résumé

As a Designer-Project Manager, I have gained years of experience working for Luxury companies, across different discipline including Interior Design for Yacht, Hospitality & High End residential, Fashion Haute Couture, as well as Architecture and Urban projects.

I have always been working in close relationship with Designers & Architects, as well as manufacturer and production teams, being deeply involved in all phases of the project, from its development in meeting the client to its production and completion on site. This way of working shaped my ability to communicate and manage projects in collaboration with a wide range of people from different background, overseeing all the aspects of research and development, production process, and market.

My strong interest for Design, manufacturing process and new technologies, encourage me to look for work experiences in various sectors. As I am always eager to learn and discover new fields and different ways of working, I have completed in 2018 a Master in Lighting Design and New Technology (AAU, Copenhagen), while working as a Lighting Designer in Paris.
