>> My values
Meaning and Clarity
My approach is focused on clearly defining the client's needs. To develop an adapted graphic response, bring impact and understanding. It seems essential to me that the designed identity carries meaning and allows for clear identification of the publication.
Listening
It is often difficult for a client to define their needs. The quality of the exchange is essential to reveal these aspirations. Working in an open atmosphere of constructive dialogue and mutual listening allows us to grasp all the expressed (or unexpressed) nuances and intelligently define common objectives.
Rigor
Defining a price and sticking to it, respecting a set deadline, and integrating production constraints before/after the creation process are three essential points that I never deviate from.
I have supervised or produced over 2000 editorial projects in 20 years of career. I am also a teacher in an applied arts school.
