About Caroline

// ARTISTIC DIRECTION
// WINDOW DISPLAY DESIGN - retail design
// EVENT DESIGN
// PHOTO SET DESIGN
// PRODUCTION OF EXCEPTIONAL OR SERIES DECOR

In love with materials, they are my main source of inspiration. My challenge: to learn to tame them, manipulate them, modify them to associate them with a precious object such as a piece of jewelry, a collection, a story.
Beyond the work of a set designer, the visual artist lets her emotions speak with the ultimate goal of creating a setting, a frame that will modestly and simply enhance an object without ever overshadowing it.

With a real understanding of the luxury sector, I pay particular attention to detail, delivering very high-quality projects, always seeking unique, innovative, and tailor-made design proposals.
I can deliver a project from concept to installation, including production.
This strength allows me to imagine personalized concepts.

The playgrounds are multiple.
Exceptional window displays, network window displays, event projects, photo shoots, I take care to adapt each concept to the stories shared with me. I like to immerse myself in a universe, add my material sensitivity to it, and observe the sometimes unexpected result that overturns the codes.

With a wealth of experience, I can now provide a wide range of creative services.
From initial sketches, mood boards, illustrations.
I develop concepts according to precise specifications, rough information, illustrations, technical drawings.
And finally, I master the sourcing, production, and installation phases.
Because each project is exclusive, I have learned to deliver different content: window displays, photo shoot set design, pop-ups, various events, illustrations...

Caroline is a great set designer who served the Hennessy brand and the retail division. Her understanding and responsiveness were key points in supporting the division. Her knowledge of art and window display design helped and reassured some collaborators in the installation of the brand during its full evolution. I highly recommend Caroline for the help she has provided me daily since her mission began 6 months ago.
