Arthur Schmitt | Designer / DIY

I am a engineer and designer currently living and working in Paris.

I graduated as an engineer (ENSAM - Imperial College) and designer (RCA). This dual training allows me to intervene all along projects. I apply design as a problem-solving methodology, which can be applied to various fields (products, interfaces, services, etc.).

I am now specialising in DIY, digital fabrication and FabLabs and how they can help innovate faster and better. I coined the term 'makestorming' to describe that activity.

I work part-time for nod-A and the rest of the time, I develop my own projects and work as a free-lancer.

Also, I ♥ bikes and I ♥ making things.

You can find me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Diigo, Instructables, Thingiverse, Vimeo, Storify, Listgeeks, Pinterest, or email .
