Let’s work together!


As a costume designer, I work for theatre, opera and contemporary dance companies Europe-wide.

My creations have appeared in the Wiener Staatsoper & Volksoper Wien, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein & Ballett am Rhein, the Théâtre de l'Athénée and Théâtre de Belleville in Paris, the Vichy opera, the Théâtre de la Coupe d'Or or the CDCN La Place de la Danse in Toulouse. Current projects include costumes for Martin Schläpfer and a production for the Saigon Opera House.

In my creations, I have explored the relationships between body, space and object. Particularly interested in the work of materials - linked to the notions of time, weight, gesture and rituals - I continue to research artistic processes and crafting techniques, which influence my costume designs and fabrics expertise.

Born in Toulouse, grown up in Munich, I am based between Germany and France, with connections to Ireland. Working in international contexts constantly feeds my understanding of various backgrounds and aesthetics. A sharp general and cultural knowledge allow me to work on both contemporary and historical creations. Through the prism of art and design innovation, I answer with dedication to very different directions, from classical, emblematic to atypical, experimental projects.
