Independent illustrator and graphic designer for 8 years, I create vibrant, colorful, and expressive visual universes where attention to detail and emotion are central.
Specializing in publishing, press, and brand communication (cultural, editorial, associative, and cosmetic sectors), I bring your stories to life and enhance your commitments through tailor-made images.
My areas of expertise:
- **Publishing & Press**: Cover illustrations, children's publishing, social issues, health, maternity.
- **Identity & Brands**: Packaging illustrations, illustrations for print/digital campaigns or social media.
- **Communication Materials**: Posters, postcards, stickers.
My process and tools:
I work primarily in digital drawing (Procreate), which allows me great agility, fluid retouching, and the delivery of high-definition files perfectly suited for printing (Print) as well as for the web.
⚡ Let's collaborate!
Whether you are a publisher, a committed brand, an NGO, or an agency, I adapt to your brief while bringing my graphic expertise and sensitivity.
Based in the Basque Country but connected to Paris, I work entirely remotely with clients from all over France and travel if the project requires it.
