Back to original languageAbout Laurent
An artisan of design and image with 17 years of experience, I honed my mastery of interfaces (desktop and mobile) at the dawn of responsive web design in a Parisian agency.
My journey then led me to freelance, where I enriched my digital art direction with audiovisual production and photography direction, thus developing a keen sense of storytelling.
With this versatility, I spent the last six years in an agency in Montpellier designing design systems and high-fidelity mockups for the demanding luxury hotel sector.
My goal today: to continue imagining, creating, and directing projects always designed to serve the user.
