I am a French designer and educator, who specializes in printed textile and natural dyes.
Before moving to London, I obtained a Master Degree in Art History from the University of Burgundy and studied at the International Center of Photography in New York. I later pursued my long-standing interest in pattern and textile design and graduated with a Foundation Degree in Surface Design at the London College of Communication.
I am part of the printmaking technical team and mainly work in the screen-printing studio. I am always delighted to help students with their projects and finding solutions to their specific aim.
I am particularly interested in natural dyes, bio plastic and experimenting with sustainable printing processes and material.
