7. Intern project on a Volvo Wheeloader during my internship at
Bluelarix, Amsterdam.
I was involved in ideation, concept sketching on exterior
and interior and design phases.

8. Study of the different part of
the vehicul but more important
of the volvo’s style to stick to
the company’s vehicules look.

9. I had to create simple surfaces
to generate a general volume.
It helped to have an overview of
the vehicules in order to create
layout for the sketching phase.

10. I love challenged and
sketching a vehicule was
definitely a big one.

11. I start using tablet just few month ago but I already enjoy
the multiple possibilities that this tool offers.

12. BI2
Sports bottle and
Armbands
Sports bottle and armband design for BI2,
dutch Start-Up in running and sports products.

13. The goal was to combine textile and plastic
to create a aesthetic sports product.

14. I get a lot of interest for textile design
during this project and I hope I will be able
to conduct new projects in this field.

15. CONFIDENTIAL
Launch End 2016

16. Collaboration with Decathlon, a french sports company, on a Team
Sport Product during my internship at Bluelarix, Amsterdam.
I was involved in ideation, prototyping, concept sketching
and design phases.

17. Project on a Inline Skate Product for Zeleritaz, a chinese sports
company, during my internship at Bluelarix, Amsterdam.
I worked on the system research, prototyping, cad modeling,
test and design phases.
CONFIDENTIAL
Launch End 2016

18. After a research of different system I
did a quick 3D model to model the basic
shape with a working principle.

19. The prototype has been done
by an other company but was
tested, improved and used in the
office.

20. A new 3D model was designed to
create a layout as close as possible
to the final concept’s shape

21. The shape was more or less
defined by the mechanisme but
thanks to a lot of sketching we
managed to give it a dynamic
and sport’s look

22. Re-branding , users study and design of a touring ski
part specific for Asnes, norwegian ski leader.

23. Users and environment study was the biggest
part of this project because of the lack of
knowledge from the
company considering their clients.

24. The goal was to design a top cover plastic part where
the skin under the ski could be fixed at. This part has
more a aesthetics role than a technical one.

25. First development in cartboard to have a general
idea.
Then quick 3D modeling to print models to have
a real impression of the models and to be able to
compare them in reality.

26. The company asked us to create a template for
a future presentation of the product.
It was more a style direction than the real final
presentation.

27. School project on a agrume squeezer. Full study and
modeling were part of it.

28. Infographics representation to present
the Lexon company.

29. A study step by step helps to find problems
that are not obvious.

31. Integration of wood sports facilities in the Trondheim’s
fjord coastline.

32. The pitch was to use only wood and work on the join
between the different parts.

33. Bringing ideas to life during and after the
ideation step is the best way to keep progressing
during a project.

34. To present our idea to the Trondheim municipality we choose
a model 1:10 with a dynamic approach.
Most people forget than a good presentation is as important
as the main project.

36. Creation of a bike’s helmet in photoshop and integration of
this on in a real environment.

37. I really like the logic behind surface modeling and it is
something I would love to get better at.

38. Even if numeric software are really handy and allowed us to
have more content in a small time it is alway nice to get back to
simple markers and pen. Right ?
