Hi, I'm Maël. I am interested in footwear and wearables and have built my practice at the intersection of industrial and fashion design. Through my passion for sports and the outdoors, I have developed an immense appreciation for the natural environment, and I always uphold sustainable practice in my projects. I enjoy creating stories that bring personal value to objects and exploring natural materials as an opportunity to waste less. I am an optimistic and inquisitive person, and I love to collaborate with people from others disciplines. I am also always eager to learn new skills; during my MA project, I learned how to develop my own biomaterials, and made my first jacket from scratch. This is what is most exciting to me—exploring the unknown.
