Description

Illustrator, I help brands, institutions and publishers create sensitive and tailor-made images, at the crossroads of architecture, landscape, heritage and naturalism.

Architect by training, my approach combines compositional rigor and finesse of touch, through a graphic style based on line, hatching and hand drawing.

My illustrations highlight places, territories and visual identities.

Each project results in a unique interpretation, serving a demanding artistic direction, an intention, a story or a brand image.
