BIOGRAPHIE

I am a computational, textile and material designer. In 2021, I graduated from the Ecole Supérieure d'Art et de Design du Mans with a master degree in computational design and mechatronics. I then specialised in textile and material design at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, graduating with a second master's degree in this discipline in June 2023.. I'm currently studying for a doctorate at EnsADLab, in the Soft Matters Research group.

 

Through my transdisciplinary approach, I see the encounter between the textile and digital worlds as a medium between the sensitive body and its surroundings. My research focuses on the links between traditional know-how and new technologies, the structural and aesthetic properties of materials, and the relationship between programming and material behaviour. This allows me to architect flexible materials in a sensitive and poetic way.

This porous design approach places my practice at the frontiers of several fields: textiles, art, robotics and computation. My work has been shown in group exhibitions such as Robotic Interaction (2018, ESAD TALM, Le Mans), Corps (Dés)Accords (2021, Centre des expositions Paul Courboulay, Le Mans) and EuroFabrique (2022, Grand Palais Ephémère, Paris).

At the same time, I was in charge of the robotics and mechatronics workshop at the École Supérieure d'Art et de Design in Le Mans, where I've been teaching digital design and manufacturing methods for several years now, through workshops weeks and a  "Digital Design" course called
FabLab Twist.
