Description

Hello,

Independent illustrator and graphic designer, I develop a sensitive universe between traditional drawing, texture, and visual storytelling.

Through watercolor, ink, and paper work, I support companies, cultural structures, associations, and individuals in the creation of unique and committed images: editorial illustration, visual identity, printed materials, or custom projects.

Based on a close-up approach, I am particularly attached to projects that enhance the territory, living things, and human connections.

I also lead creative workshops - particularly around watercolor - designed as spaces for discovery, transmission, and reconnection with observation: learning to look, experimenting with color, and raising awareness of nature and biodiversity.

For over 10 years, I have combined art direction, artisanal illustration, and creative support, with a particular focus on projects with a cultural, educational, or committed dimension.
