X
“X” is a personal brand exercise proj-ect. The goal was to create a new bold automotive brand that would stand out of the actual mundanity of car-related brands of today by focusing on the access rather than ownership. The brand would offer a shared-fleet of electric vehicles to its members.“X” is the proof that everybody can have access to personal mobility while having a sense of premium vehicle in the most minimalistic aspect possible. The name of the models were chosen upon their proper segment. For ex-maple, the Microcar would be named “X.A” because it belongs in the A-seg-ment.

Transit 950
Transit 950 is a cyclist oriented tran-sit area. This project was an Advanced Concept and Systems Design Studio at the Art Center College of Design, within the Graduate Transportation Design program. The goal was to un-derstand the needs for a growing cy-cling culture aoround the school and come up with a viable solution that could be implemented in a couple of years from now. Transit 950 is the re-sult of researches and insights done on the 2 campuses around Pasadena, CA. The South Campus on 950 S. Ray-mond Ave was chosen for the purpos-es of being easier to embrace a bike culture because of its location and its proximity to some points of interest in the city such as the LA Metro rail, parks, restaurants, etc.

With Transit 950, the Art Center College of Design is contributing to fulfils of the cycling community needs
around the South Campus and the city of Pasadena.
There is an actual augmentation of people cycling to the Art Center College of Design’s South Campus. However, there are major lacks into the system of infrastructures that supports cycling at the school.
BMW i.D
BMW iD is an mobility service on de-mand for 2050 megacities. The vehi-cle on demand is semi-autonomous and meets the needs for freedom and mobility of citizens, regardless of age. BMW iD embodies a significant change in the current paradigm of the automobile : the complete depriva-tion of a vehicle. The service provides all the benefits of driving and mobili-ty while the issue of maintenance re-mains the responsibility of the service provider who is also the manufacturer. Thus now, the user uses the mobility rather than the vehicle.
This is not a sponsored project.

Cubilé
As part of a team studio project in school we had to develop within a month, a product from A to Z, from sketches up to sales. We had to produce a number of 12 products (mostly identicals). My team and I decided to create a unique lamp. We wanted this product to be a classic/modern lamp which is made of solid wood (Padouk, Boubinga, Canary wood, Lacewood). The LEDs light is diffused through acrylic panels at the ends and middle of the lamp. It’s basically a cube cut in half by a diagonal. To open it, you have to twist the bottom and the top parts so it lets the light emerge from the 2 sections. I mostly work on the lighting aspect and all the electrical connections of the product.

Asics
Personal project based on my second passion on footwear-related products. What could look like a shoe from tak-ing a brand (Asics Onitsuka Tiger) and trying to apply a different theme (Star Wars) on it. It’s mostly free hand sketching and photoshop rendering and illustraition.

Bauer HockeyInternship | Summer 2013
In the summer of 2013, I had the chance to have an internship at Bauer Hockey Corp. as a Designer. I’ve worked with the Designers on projects for the up-coming seasons 2015-2016. I worked on player’s gloves, roller-hockey pants, goaltender’s helmet graphics, skate footbed and player’s girdle. Unfortu-nately, the contract signed prevents me from talking in detail about the projects I’ve worked on this summer. For confidentiality reasons, I also cannot show pictures of the process, sketches or anything that has been done for Bauer Hockey Corp., because this material belongs to them. However, I’ve done work apart to show an example what I’ve could done during this internship. All the sketches and the renders are fictional products.
