About 

I am a registered architect in France, where I also gained my professional degree in architecture.
I have recently relocated permanently to New York and I hold an employment permit.
As I am currently working toward licensure in New York State, I have gained critical knowledge about Building and Zoning Codes. Moreover, I am becoming familiar with Passive House Standard.

I am passionate by the housing field and by the renovation/expansion of existing buildings. 
I also value passive design to promote well-being and healthy environments through the implementation of bio sourced materials.

I worked for fifteen years as a project designer and manager in well established firms of small and medium sized in France, on a variety of new and renovation-extension projects, including housing, schools, public facilities, health centers.

I had the opportunity to develop projects from start to finish, with a strong sense of responsability, a commitment to sustainability, and an open mind appreciated by my colleagues and clients. 

Thanks to my creative abilities, curiosity for progressive design, and rigorous attitude, I was able to integrate the programmatic needs, the various requirements of consultants and engineers, and work within budget constraints, without compromising the design intentions. 

I was responsible for two major projects to the north of Paris, including a new 85,000 sf Post-Operative Care and Rehabilitation Center, and a 90,000 sf High School, a complex renovation-extension of existing buildings, with a large variety of interior and exterior finishes. 
Likewise, I was recently responsible for the design of two housing projects comprising publicly-assisted and market-rate dwellings in Paris and its near suburbs.
