About

Hello ! I’m an architect and illustrator, with degrees from the ENSAPB (Paris) and the University of Salford (UK).
 I worked for 10 years as an architect in Paris, Berlin and then London, where I specialized in Inclusive Design before moving to Lyon in France. 


Having witnessed the exclusion experienced by persons with disabilities in my immediate environment, I’ve built my career around inclusion, recognising the diversity and specific characteristics of each and every one of us.
 The short film La ville limite en corps, which I co-directed with Lila Derridj, aims to raise awareness of accessibility issues in urban environments. It won a prize at the Handica festival in 2003, and marks the beginning of this journey.

I gradually moved on from being an architect to becoming a specialist in inclusive design, co-founding an accessibility consultancy and now working for Humanity & Inclusion. My skills now also include written and graphic communication.

Since 2021, I’ve been incorporating illustration into my professional activity. Drawing, which I’ve always practised, has now become an obvious means of communicating about the challenges of inclusion and diversity, by bringing stories to life and designing inclusive illustrations and graphics.

I have a particular affinity for mixed media, for the richness of their textures, the playfulness and exploration it enables, while keeping a lively line, that of the first sketch.
