Signage Designer | Luxury Hospitality
Interior & Exterior Signage · Wayfinding
I design bespoke signage systems for high-end hotel establishments and demanding spaces, including palaces, 5-star hotels, retail, and cultural spaces, ensuring complete coherence between visual identity, wayfinding, and user experience.
As a freelance interior architect and signage designer, I spent several years working with specialized agencies, managing interior, exterior, FOH, and BOH signage for over fifteen 5-star hotels and palaces in France and internationally, as well as commercial and university signage projects, in collaboration with renowned architects and designers.
I founded Charline Bitu Designs in 2021 to directly support hoteliers, project owners, and design teams.
MY SIGNAGE DESIGN SERVICES:
- Signage audit and diagnosis
- Master plan and wayfinding study
- Preliminary (APS) / Detailed design study (APD): creative concepts, material selection, pictograms, typography
- Production of print-ready files (BAT) and tender documents (DCE / CCTP)
- Manufacturer coordination and installation supervision
MY APPROACH
As a single point of contact throughout the project, I guarantee responsiveness, creative continuity, and adherence to specifications, deadlines, and budget. Each signage project is treated on a custom basis, from programming to site reception.
Are you preparing to open, renovate, or reposition an establishment? Contact me to discuss your signage project.
My projects and references remain confidential, but each creation has a story I love to share. Let's meet or chat on the phone, I'd be happy to tell you more.
