I inspire teams, develop strategies and implement unorthodox and effective solutions

I like to rethink the offering and customer experience, design compelling end-to-end journeys, delight the user, and produce results. To do so, there's nothing like working with confident, driven people looking to push the boundaries and help transform organizational cultures.

For almost two decades, I have built relationships, designed processes and led creative teams to develop design solutions that deliver real results for our clients, many of them in the media, arts, and public sectors. 

Currently, I’m an Immersive Experiences Lead at Capgemini in Paris, France.
