ARCHITECTURE

National degree from the National School of Architecture of Nancy in 2016.
HMONP diploma (accreditation to sign project) from the National School of Architecture of Grenoble in 2020.

Architecture is not just a profession, for me it is mainly a practice, a state of mind, a knowledge.
From young age, I started working in construction. Housing renovation in the protected historic district of the city of Dole (39) allowed me to discover the complexity of the act of building and rethinking spaces.

This exposure naturally guided me to pursue an academic education in architecture. Having obtained the technical practice of the construction site, I subsequently sought to further develop my competencies in design and project management.

SHAPE

After 2 years working as a structural designer for EP climbing, I discovered the art of shaping. As a passionate climber, I found some foam in the EP warehouse and tried to shape it. I started at home, during a winter night by -5° C on my balcony, armed with a kitchen knife and a little headlamp.This activity quickly became a consuming passion that quickly occupied all my free time.

I had the privilege to see my first holds manufactured as well as featured in the EP climbing catalog. This activity now represents half of my professional activity. After years of research and development, I have succeeded in producing a high quality, flawless dual-texture: a completely smooth surface, less than 0.04mm ultra-fine separation, in mat or glossy finish.

Through contacts and networking established during main events such as the Grenoble Climbing Show, Vertical Pro or international competitions, I am currently able to work independently with 7 partners, and other collaborations are coming.
