Currently working for Frog, as Industrial design intern.
Hi, I am Valentin Sollier - A French Industrial Design Student
I am passionate about every facet of design as soon as the main focus remains on the end-user. And I get excited about turning complex problems into simple and thoughtful innovations. I also love switching back and forth between my laptop and the model-shop or a brainstorming session.
One of my daily routines is to find out about the endless possibilities in my playground while getting a constant dose of inspiration. So, I try to keep up with everything that relates to design, technology, and innovative business, from pure industrial design news to prospective study and sneakers culture.
I am always willing to learn new things and on the look for difficult challenges to tackle. For this purpose I had the enriching opportunity to join LunarDesign in Munich as a Design intern from August 2010 to February 2011 and R’pure Studio in Paris from June 2011 to August 2011. In addition to having awesome life and culture experiences, those internships taught me how to deliver great work in tight deadlines.
