• DECATHLON
2008

During my time at Decathlon Design (Oxylane) in 2008, I supported advanced concept work across multiple sports categories, moving between creative workshops, CAD modeling and visualization, and quick prototyping. I helped translate these insights into clean designs, common part strategies, and retail touchpoints that made products easier to understand, build, and maintain. Here are the results of  a couple of these workshops where we explored aquatic training and outdoor leisure. The results of those sessions were turned into fast prototypes and testable concepts. The key findings were clear: users wanted gear that shifts smoothly between training and relaxation; unobtrusive, in-water feedback (integrated displays, haptics, bone-conduction audio) that motivates without breaking flow in the pool. And faster setup, tidy transport and comfort features that make social moments easier outdoors. The resulting concepts blended multi-mode functionality, clear interfaces, and smart packability to help users start, sustain, and enjoy activity with less effort.
