Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Hello,

Nice to meet you, my name is Charlotte.

I have been a visual merchandiser in retail for over 10 years. Previously employed, I now decide to put my creativity and technique to the service of your needs and those of your clients.

I have remained loyal to the same major brand, providing support across France. These years have been very rich in experience, which today assures me a solid foundation of knowledge and skills for the realization of your projects: defining your visual identity, telling the story and values of your company, and inviting your clients to live a real experience.

6 years ago, I added a new string to my bow. I am also a freelance floral scenographer, whether for events, editorials, window displays, or wherever our ideas may lead us.

I am available now to discuss your projects.

See you soon!
