My name is Quentin and I'm a product designer from Lausanne, Switzerland, and I'm a masters student in product design at the Royal College of Art in London.
​
My design practice is rooted in playfulness and empathy, and draws on child-like curiosity to create objects and experiences that are both engaging and supportive. I explore everyday rituals and habits as opportunities for gentle intervention, designing with compassion and a human-centered focus to support well-being by brightening the everyday.
