Originally, I am from France but have spent many years living across
the world, from Africa, The United States and most recently the Middle
East.
Throughout my life I have always enjoyed an outdoor lifestyle and as
you can see, I have travelled a lot. Having an active life is very
important to me, whether that be through things like mountain biking and
water sports or even camping at the weekend.
My education began at the School of Versailles in Paris. It was a
great school to study at, but I also loved it because of its location.
Paris is such a diverse city that is always evolving. If you accompany
that with decades of stunning architecture, it really becomes and place
like no other.
I have been interested in seeing things grow and develop since a very
young age. As a girl I would build sandcastles and tree houses with my
brother. Over time that interest developed further and by my teens I
knew I wanted to be an architect.
For the last 5 years I have been with the DSA team and my role
consists of managing projects from design to creation. As a Project
Architect, I am positioned between the design team and the client. It’s a
role that I love because it can be so varied from project to project.
Each client has their own particular requests, and it is critical that I understand them at an early stage.
Not only does this help ensure that all team members keep to what the
client wants, but also it means that any design hurdles can resolved at
a swift pace, avoiding lengthy delays.
When a project begins, inspiration for design is never too far away.
From looking back at past successes and evolving those ideas further, to
examining the surroundings of the project location. It’s fundamental to
capture the vision of the client, taking multiple elements and
combining them to create a strong identity.
Spending some quality family time with my husband and son is
extremely important to me. When i’m not emersed in a project, I like to
spend as much time with them as possible. I also have a great passion
for cooking and maintaining a healthy diet. I am always researching new
and exciting recipes.
However, the excitement for designing is always with me and currently
I am designing a villa for my family and I in France during my spare
time.
