About Raphael

Raphael is an in-demand strategic designer and innovator, who helps people and teams realise their potential. He is intent on exploring problems and asking more questions to find better answers, with a focus on creating structural changes that enable organisations to turn into innovation engines.

He consults, facilitates, and advises clients with a wide range of methodologies and tools that he has learnt during his diverse career. After completing his Masters in electronics engineering, Raphael’s early career was in business analysis and project coordination at Airbus in France. He then became an accomplished management consultant in technology and strategy at Deloitte, before moving into design thinking and innovation roles.

Raphael is internationally well-renowned for leading teams while developing breakthrough strategies for new business opportunities and markets (Deloitte innovation program, UTS Business School external engagement), advising organisation leaders (Aurecon, Palliative Care NSW), delivering presentations and workshops on design innovation (Design Management Academy at Hong Kong, China-Australia Millennial Project in Shanghai, INSA Toulouse in France), and creating much of the Master of Design program at the University of Sydney.

Naturally curious, Raphael loves to explore new fields of knowledge.
