I am Nicolas, 25 years old , franco-german designer!
First interested by sport & footwear design, my different experiences
have given me the desire to work also on even more meaningful projects,
in terms of sustainability and protection of environment.
​
​
Sports has always played a big role in my life and I have experimented a lot of them.
I'm pleased with the emotion & the positive message that it can provide, and the universal
spirit of collectivity of it.
​
This is exactly what makes me thrill as a designer.
I believe that, at our own scale, we have important tools and opportunities to make the world evolve
in a positive way:
_Proposing concrete solutions that will make a change, (right) now.
_Or proposing conceptual ideas that will push forward the thoughts, and will
trigger visions for the coming years, challenging today's technologies.
I am also convinced that working in teams and sharing ideas, is the richest
way to achieve things and to improve life and our ways of acting.
​
Apart from design, I like to experience new things, to discover new places and get to know
other people and their way of being and thinking. This brought me to play music,
to participate in improvisation theater classes, to work in Germany and in Austria, ...and
to live and study in India for a whole year.
​
Feel free to contact me for new projects, or to have a talk!
