For 4 years I had the opportunity to work for a small architecture firm on projects from concept to completion.My commitment to the company made me evolve quickly with more responsibilities. I also created my own business while I was part time working for an architect and interior designer in Paris.I mostly worked on residential alterations, extensions (including vertical), but also on few interior design, space planning and commercial buildings projects.

I am now looking for a company in Sydney to carry on developing my architect and interior designer skills. In addition to my efficient work, I will bring my personal point of view and expertise to optimize every projects.

In collaboration with the manager at every steps, I worked for 8 months (part-time) on high-end apartments renovation, bathrooms renovation, a company restaurant full redesign, and house vertical extension.From first sketches, to site inspections (where I was in charge), I was directly involved in the conception, material selection and drawings production (2D and 3D).

I particularly learned during site inspections the link between drawings and construction, which made me improve the way I design.

CREA’TEM ARCHITECTES

I decided to open my company to be totally independent and work on my own projects. This part-time activity taught me how to handle the full responsibility of a project and the importance to manage the workload to be efficient in two different jobs at the same time. I worked on 4 full renovations of Parisian apartments with the recurrent problematic of tiny spaces, the need for more storage, and controlling the costs despite unexpected events.

I have learnt the importance to work with people from different backgrounds, and have a wide network to make sure all aspects of a project are properly managed.

I also achieved these tasks:- all administrative steps to create my company.- development application.- enhancing my communication to adapt to my different clients and their ability of understanding architecture (concept, layouts and sections reading).- reading my clients intentions to transform their interior to optimize it in their way, adding a contemporary style and harmony.

I began my first job as draftsperson after graduating, and I was very quickly involved in the creative process. Following the departure of a collaborator, I had the opportunity to improve my skills to manage up to 8 projects at the same time, while referring to an associate.I was also in charge of managing a team of two draftsperson.In addition to my conception and production work, I allocated the workload and controlled their drawings to respect the deadlines given by the two directors. My flexible attitude to meet changing priorities and tasks was essential.

I worked on different kind of project developments, drawings and renderings (2D and 3D) for private clients. I have mainly worked on residential (houses and apartments) extensions, renovations and interior design.I also had to take initiative and improve other skills to answer the new requests of our

Architect / Project manager2013-2017 - 4 years

Architect / Manager2013 - 2017

I have always been attracted to interior design, and that was the occasion to apply my knowledge of architecture and interior design into a single project.

I also had these responsibilities:- designing custom furniture at scale 1:10 (timber, concrete, Solid Surface Corian©)- selecting and and suggesting materials (spotted in showrooms or magazines).- measuring of apartments with a high level of accuracy.- leading presentations to the clients or to the contractors company.- making realistic 3D renderings with details lights and materials.- giving my opinion regarding the evolution of the company (strategic choices, how to maximise the work time, which program use ...)

The work with Sophie Nicolas was a real partnership. We spent a lot of time sharing our opinions on all the aspects of a project to get the better efficiency and harmony.

clients such as:- compliance for fire safety in mixed buildings (workplace/restaurant- workplace/warehouse- restaurant/bar/concert hall), and a 3 level parking under a high workplace building near the Seine (70m high).- documentation about new regulations for thermal efficiency, access and mobility design (I worked on a house redesign for a wheelchair user and his family).- communication with clients and consultants (engineers, town planning services, contractors).- new and altered development applications (more than 20 in 4 years).- measure up of facades, interiors and external residential/commercial buildings.

In addition I was responsible for the company communication. I worked with the website designer, chosing forms and options matching the agency needs. I collected images and sketches to feed the website during the last 2 years.

These 4 months in a luxury agency was a confirmation that I definitively wanted to use my skills to work both as an architect and an interior designer.There was a specific attention to details, materials quality, and an original signature that transformed spaces into innovative and contemporary interiors.

I was lucky to worked on all the current projects, led by different project managers:- Galerie Lafayette Paris department store: floor and ceiling drawings, custom furniture for the men section (accessories, cash area). Materials selection, space planning considering the client specifications, 3D modelling and rendering. Detailed working drawings to build the prototype at scale 1:1.- Cartier Flagship in Courchevel (France), and in Marina Bay Sands (Singapour) : drawings of the flagship façade and perspective.- Materials selection for the Plaza Athénée lobby competition (laureate).- 3D modeling and rendering for a wall lamp for the Veuve Cliquot townhouse.

I really appreciated the constant quality and signature that Bruno Moinard gave to his projects. He select high quality materials, dialoguing perfectly together to reach a perfect harmony linked to clients personality. I was impressed by the way he succeded to get the essence of a project, using pure and simple lines.

During this 4 months I worked with 3 different project managers for a residential complex of 65 units (from studio to 4 bedrooms), a center for people with mental disabilities (25 units and share spaces), and a new residential area with mixed houses, villas and units buildings (83 units/houses).

I achieved these tasks :- 3D modeling and rendering for the 3 projects on archicad.- checking all layers to find discrepancies between 2D drawings and 3D model.- working on public spaces between buildings (check compliance with regulations).- modifying layouts including structural and thermal engineers recommendations.- working on detailed drawings for construction.- developing a geometric pattern for a 10m high glazed curtain wall.- selectionning materials for an university extension.

MUTUAIDE ASSISTANCE

During this two months internship, I discover the Armenian obsidian, the different ways to transform it, and the limits to use it in interior design or in architecture. I designed a vase and 3 soap dishes and I produced all the necessary drawings to make a prototype in Armenia.I also updated the catalogue and flyer which were given during the “Maison & Objets” annual exhibition in Paris.This experience taught me that before choosing a material for a project, I must consider all its characteristics and limits to know how can I use it, and find unexpected purposes.

This student job taught me the team work with partners all around Europe and the reactivity to find quick solutions in a new field.That was very satisfying to help people, to work hard to relieve them during a stressful event in a foreign country. It also taught me how to stay positive and how to calm clients using right words and tone.
