Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Barbara
Passionate about art, imagery, and style, I have built a career combining creation, strategic vision, and textile experimentation.
Educated at Esmod Paris in styling/pattern making, then graduated in graphic design (École Boulle) and fashion design (Master's degree), I enriched my practice within trend forecasting agencies (Carlin, Promostyl) before creating my independent brand: Helê Paris, dedicated to the creation of unique pieces and textile upcycling.
My hybrid background has allowed me to explore the world of textile design, collaborate with companies in ready-to-wear, and then develop my own creative studio. Since 2023, I have been working as a freelancer for brands, artists, and project leaders, on tailor-made creative missions.
Today, I combine various skills for you:
Art Direction & Brand Image
Creative Consulting: trends, visual strategy, mood boards
Collection Creation & Styling
Graphic Design & Visual Identity: logos, patterns, covers
Exclusive Textile Patterns and Illustrations
My Activities
I collaborate with:
Fashion or lifestyle brands, for collection, art direction, or branding projects
Artists and labels, for the visual creation of universes, visuals, or covers
Studios or independent professionals, for occasional consulting or creative support
