From Art Direction to Interior Architecture
Before bringing spaces to life, I shaped the image of brands. For twenty-five years I worked as an Art Director in communication agencies, notably within major groups such as Havas, before choosing independence to support my clients directly. From advertising to events, packaging and visual identities, I led creation in all its forms.
Driven by a lifelong appetite for design, I chose to give this creative sensibility a new dimension by training in interior architecture at the prestigious Boulle and Ensaama Olivier de Serres schools. Building on this academic grounding, I then enriched my practice through a three-month immersion alongside the renowned French architect Philippe Chiambaretta, within his PCA-Stream agency in Paris, before fully embarking on my own venture.
Far from a break, this first chapter in communication forged the interior architect and designer I am today. From it I have drawn three core strengths for the success of your projects:
A forward-looking vision
Nourished by a broad creative culture, I master today's aesthetic codes while knowing how to anticipate tomorrow's trends.
The art of listening and daring
I know how to decipher a client's deepest desires to offer a project that resembles them, while taking them one step further to surprise them and exceed their expectations.
Creative leadership
Identifying talent, briefing it with precision, and instilling a collective momentum so that every artisan and technician gives their best on a worksite.
Today, it is this dual expertise, the power of the visual concept combined with a sensitivity to space, that allows me to design unique, inhabited places.
Philosophy
The art of socially conscious cultural fusion
My style was born of a dialogue between two worlds: the rigour of European design, which I absorbed in France, and the cultural wealth of the African continent, for which I felt an immediate love at first sight. From this fusion my signature emerged: a métissé art of living, contemporary and warm.
For me, aesthetics are inseparable from people. I place ergonomics at the heart of my spaces to instil a daily sense of well-being, and I cultivate an absolute demand for detail, quality and durability.
This quest for excellence comes to life locally. I insist that all of my furniture be produced on site: by training artisans and passing on new technical skills, I actively contribute to the development of a more sophisticated and refined local craftsmanship.
Creating memorable, high-end, meaningful interiors is the very essence of my approach. A perfect balance that I sum up in one phrase, my mantra: French Touch, African Soul.
