/ My Approach

I BELIEVE IN
HUMAN FIELD STUDY,
TO DESIGN AGAINST
REAL NEEDS.

My design process is about empathy and the importance of understanding the people I’m designing for. It allows me to spot the frustrations and pain points in order to develop ideas, refine them and bring them to life.

During the early studies, I observe the state of the location, its weaknesses and strengths, and I interrogate the people about their needs and uses to elaborate the specifications of the project. Then, I analyze what is being made and in other relevant fields. I look for artistic inspirations to create a mood board. This allows me to choose with the client a development line.

In the second stage, I explore different ways to answer the brief, broadening the scope and means of possibilities. I elaborate zoning plans and quick drawings to give a global overview of what the project could look like.

I propose different concepts with pre-models to have feedback from future users, in order to keep improving the solution and to choose one of the ideas. This is a safe way to create a solid foundation for any projects.

In the last creation phase, it is the time for more details. I design technical drawings such as electricity, furniture, or floor plans in order to facilitate quotes making and later the construction phase.

I also develop in this stage the visual aspects of the projects as I make 3D renderings and set with the client the colors and materials.

Camille has exceeded our expectations with her ability to handle tasks quickly. She is capable of accomplishing various aspects of the design business, demonstrating an ability to analyze and solve problems independently and as a team member.
