After graduating from the ENSCI, the Ecole Nationale Superieure de Creation Industrielle, in 1992, Patrick started working as a designer at "Compagnie des Wagon-Lits" and "Tim Thom" Thomson Multimedia. In 1995, Patrick joined Philip Starck's studio in Paris and in 1998, he started his own studio: the Agence Patrick Jouin.
