What made you interested in design?

When I was little, my favorite books were the French encyclopedia "Tout l'Univers". I was fascinated by the illustrations and inventions appeared in them. For me, all those images representing the magic of humanity. I could not express it well with 5 or 6 years, but since then I dreamed of becoming inventor. I knew nothing about the design at that time ... discipline discovered just after finishing high school. Today my dreams and my life project are the same. Just change the type of inventions that I want to create. The technology and materials are merely the means. The invention is in the vital stages in human environments related to economic activity and ecology, around which objects and services are built.
