Where our graduates go.

“Looking back at my five years at CAD, it’s interesting to see how some things have come full circle.

I remember studying Thonet in Madame Dustin’s History of Design classes. At the time, I was discovering the company through our lectures. Today, I’m working on projects for them. I also used to walk past Porro almost every day on my way to CAD, never imagining that I would one day get to work with them. And an assignment in my third undergraduate year, where we had to design a clothing store with Mr Dumont, feels particularly relevant now that I’m working on projects for Galeries Lafayette.

These are just a few examples of how much can happen in a few years. They’ve taught me that a good education, hard work, motivation and, above all, believing in what you want to achieve can open doors you never imagined as a student.

Today, I’m based in Berlin, working at Werner Aisslinger’s studio. I joined as an intern and gradually worked my way up to my current role as Project Manager, taking on more responsibility for the development, coordination and management of projects.

My work covers a wide range of fields, from interior architecture and product design to mobility, yachting and new concepts for nomadic living. I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to projects for clients such as NEOM, Galeries Lafayette, Accor Group, Fotografiska, Thonet and Porro, among others. Along the way, I’ve developed not only my design and technical skills, but also my ability to coordinate teams, manage complex projects and find solutions to challenging problems.

Working in Berlin also means being part of a very international environment, where English is the language I use every day to communicate with clients, consultants, manufacturers and partners around the world.

When I look at where I am today, I know that my five years at CAD and the teachers I met along the way played an important role in shaping my career. I’m proud of the path I’ve taken and of how far I’ve come since graduating in 2022.”
