About Francois

With several years of experience in editorial design, art direction, and visual creation, I offer a comprehensive approach, from conception to execution. My expertise covers layout and typography as well as art direction for photoshoots, whether for still life, videos, or advertising campaigns.

I have had the opportunity to work for prestigious brands such as Vogue, Giorgio Armani Beauty, and Omega, which has allowed me to develop great creative agility and a strong ability to adapt to demanding sectors, such as fashion, cosmetics, and luxury watchmaking. My approach is based on aesthetic consistency and particular attention to detail, regardless of the nature of the project.

Having lived in London, Paris, and Zurich, I have acquired a global understanding of different creative cultures and the specific requirements of each market.

In parallel with my freelance work, I am also developing my artistic practice, with several exhibitions held between 2023 and 2025, in Paris and Milan.
