Having designed and patented an innovative aquatic baby carrier for new fathers, I lead a project team specialised in textile research & development. Currently in an advanced prototype stage, this product was awarded a Concours Lépine medal by the French Overseas Ministry and received a distinction from France's Agency for Industrial Creations (APCI) in May 2013. In July 2013, I was awarded a Label du Design (Design Label) by Observeur 2014, a national French design competition. The prototype is currently exhibited at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie in Paris until end March 2014.
