Digital nomad
Full of energy, rarely sleeping, often on the road, laptop in the bag. Couchsurfing host and guest.
I count like the UN, plus Kosovo and Taiwan: Catalonia, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, N. Cyprus, Transnistria, Jersey are listed, not counted.
Maison Amiel was founded by my great-grandfather in 1946. I came back to Toulouse to run it, rebuilt it, found it an investor, and brought it into Groupe Somouest, where I now design and build the tools the whole company runs on.
2017–2024
Running Maison Amiel
Graphic designer first, then sales, then managing director: I climbed the ladder while the ship was taking on water. I rethought the collection, the catalogue and the communication, and digitised everything that could be.

Finding a buyer
Once the investor-buyer was found, I led the integration into Groupe Somouest together with the Amiel teams. Amiel is no more. Long live Somouest.

Interfaces, brands & systems
Everything below is live and used every day by the Somouest teams, their retailers and their customers. Art direction, UX, UI and code: one pair of hands.

Identity and website of a bedding manufacturer with three sites in France (Montsûrs, Toulouse, Brignoles): brands, catalogue, CSR commitments, access for professionals.
Catalogues & price lists for every brand and client
Loose sheets in a ring binder, photographs from anywhere, no two pages alike. I redid the lot on one grid and one photo style: a 92-page general catalogue, price lists and product sheets, for every brand and every client.
Somouest’s premium bedding line, rebuilt from the 2026 catalogue: 16 creations and 7 ensembles, 30 fabrics, and a map of the stores selling Signature mattresses, refreshed every week from Sage.
