About
I am a French product designer with over twenty years of experience, I live in the UK with my family after spending ten years in Hong Kong from 1996 until 2006 where I worked three years for a French watch manufacturer before setting up my own company Bleu Ltd.
I design products in various fields such as consumer electronics, home accessories, mobile devices, connected devices, watches and transportation...
I helped Native Union to launch their brand in 2008 through the POP Phone and the BT Curve handsets.
