What I do to live

Besides designing your new yacht,  I work as an external consultant for boatyards and design offices.

(Note: I am always happy to consider new projects, so if you are part of these categories and think you may work with me, please don't hesitate to contact me)

Here's a brief summary of my professional background.  If you are interested in my complete Curriculum Vitae, click here.

Blubay Yachts

From 2000 to 2006 I was part of the design team at Blubay Yachts in Cannes, France.
(If you are interested in yachts, and multihulls in particular, you HAVE TO see the Blubay Yachts website)

Working in a young and ambitious team, designing large sailing catamarans: proposals, layouts, calculations, engineering, construction drawing, 3-d modeling...  A great experience.

Before going back to school as a "mature student" (see below)
