En résumé

Creative thinker, mechanical engineer, industrial designer and UX designer, I lead teamwork to integrate user needs and usability issues into product development, so as to provide the best user experience.

I animate creativity within multi-disciplinary team to search & find innovative solutions, mostly technical and user-oriented. I advocate the right mix of design, engineering and business within projects, known as the Design Thinking approach.

During the past 10+ years, I worked on various innovative products such as automotive driver's cockpit (PSA Peugeot Citroën), automotive glazing (Saint-Gobain Sekurit), NUI on wide multi-touch tables (Atracsys Interactive), cameras for medical industry (Atracsys LLC) and presently surgical robotics (Ganymed Robotics).

My mottos ?

- Be creative, be curious and go beyond your fields
- Communicate, collaborate and build together across disciplines
- Stay focused, be organized and prototype & test !
