Isabelle Branche

I have been working in the textile industry for 25 years now. I started at Poivre Blanc, then spent a year in Italy, where I had a very enriching experience.

I moved to the west of France, spent 4.5 years at RIP CURL Europe, then 15 years at DECATHLON for the surf brand OLAIAN, where I had the opportunity to create, manage, and coordinate collections, particularly for women's and girls' swimwear, but not only... and to lead creative teams.

I then joined a costume jewelry brand, Une A Une, where I developed products with our suppliers and took charge of the brand's graphic design.

I enjoy creation, organization, and project development. Being naturally curious, I like to learn and discover new things. I have traveled extensively and, through my travels, discovered the cultural richness of the countries I visited, which has enriched my creative universe.

I have been using Illustrator and Photoshop for a long time to create mood boards, color palettes, shape ranges, technical files, and prints with their repeat patterns, as well as InDesign for lookbooks and catalogs.

I particularly enjoy working with colors, and I have training in color management, which I apply to the creation of color palettes and placed or all-over prints.

I am also very attentive to respecting product costs, deadlines, and potential production constraints.

I currently support brands as an independent, which allows me to intervene operationally and agilely on issues of creation, collection structuring, and coordination.

I remain available if needed; you can contact me to view my portfolio.
