About Bénédicte

Art director for over 20 years, in Paris then Lyon — freelancing since 2003 — I mainly work in the luxury, publishing, and press sectors...

My expertise applies to both consulting and creation/production: visual identity, branding guidelines, logo creation, branding, communication and printing advice, proofreading,...

During my assignments, I have developed real expertise in Adobe InDesign, particularly in publishing and print.

I master the challenges of structured layouts (catalogs, product brochures) and am comfortable with technical content.

I have the ability to work within an existing art direction framework and also to create it.

I am recognized for my attention to detail, my responsiveness, my execution rigor, and my respect for deadlines.

My assignments are commissioned by BtoB clients, such as CHANEL, HACHETTE, EGON Paris, CREDIT SUISSE, La Maison de la Literie, Soroptimist, Mazarine Image; and BtoC clients: restaurateurs, pharmacists, shops, florists, self-employed individuals, drivers, consultants, therapists...

For CHANEL Parfums & Beauté, I have been laying out weekly press releases for 12 years, in direct collaboration with editorial content project managers.

For EGON Paris, I have been carrying out assignments for REMY MARTIN, HERMES, RELAIS&CHÂTEAUX, MOËT&CHANDON, RUINART for 4 years.

For HACHETTE, I recently completed the layout for a book to be published in May 2026 (Con de chien, E/P/A editions).

For MARKETSET, a contemporary lighting manufacturer, I produced their annual 300-page catalog, their advertisements, posters, and trade show panels (such as MAISON&OBJETS) before their acquisition.

My portfolio will give you an overview of my work (many projects are under confidentiality agreements).

Passionate about cinema and theater, I have been acting and improvising for 6 years, I create, decorate, arrange, and practice visual arts, water sports, the saxophone, hiking...

Experience

  • CHANEL France
    Freelance Graphic Designer
    LUXURY GOODS
    June 2014 - Today (12 years)
    Neuilly-sur-Seine, France
    I was fortunate to be contacted by CHANEL Parfums Beauté in June 2014 to produce my first press release.

    The adventure continues after 12 years.

    I have also collaborated with CHANEL Horlogerie Joaillerie, working directly with editorial content project managers.

    Most of my assignments involve laying out content for the press: press releases, international campaign launches, events, and CHANEL brand materials: Perfumes - Skincare - Makeup and High Jewelry - Watchmaking.
    But also proofreading, text correction, creation of prestigious private invitations for the House in print and digital formats, cropping visuals into different formats on Photoshop...
    All these projects require precision, responsiveness, but above all discretion, due to a confidentiality agreement that does not allow me to showcase certain work.

    Freelance Graphic Designer
    LUXURY GOODS
    June 2022 - Today (4 years)
    Neuilly-sur-Seine, France
    I have been working with and for Séverine Breton Join-Diéterle — founder of EGON Paris — for 4 years, on layout, proofreading, and color control assignments, from production to delivery of print files.

    The projects entrusted to me require a real eye for detail to meet the demands of luxury houses, and call for rigor, flexibility ;-), responsiveness, autonomy, and perfect command of InDesign.

    I have had and continue to have the opportunity to collaborate on projects such as the annual Relais&Châteaux catalog, HERMES Collection maps & Size guides, product sheets for the excellent champagnes of MÖET&CHANDON, press kits and other welcome booklets, invitations to visit the REMY MARTIN estates...

    It is above all a great human adventure that began at Mazarine Image in 2002!
