Freelance Illustrator, Graphic Designer, and Art Director based in Paris, I help brands, cultural institutions, restaurants, NGOs, startups, and architects create coherent and sensitive visual identities, brand worlds, and graphic systems.
My work lies at the intersection of illustration, art direction, and graphic design. I enjoy conceptualizing ideas just as much as translating them visually and ensuring their consistency across all media, from concept to print and digital applications.
With my dual background as a designer and illustrator, I handle illustration and art direction projects holistically: concept research, graphic identity, illustration, layout, editorial design, and communication materials.
I also develop pastel and colored pencil illustrations for editorial, packaging, and visual communication projects, creating patterns with a more organic and sensitive approach.
My expertise covers:
• Visual identity & branding (logo, graphic charter, art direction, brand world)
• Editorial design (white papers, brochures, reports, booklets, posters, book covers)
• Editorial and educational illustration (awareness tools, card games, educational materials, children's illustration)
• Narrative signage systems for public spaces (parking lots, airports...)
• Visual communication for restaurants, cultural venues, and events (menus, packaging, print and digital materials)
• Graphic systems applied to cultural, editorial, or brand projects
I have notably worked for UNICEF, the UN (UNHCR), the Paris Opera, Notre-Dame de Paris, Paris Airports, as well as for agencies, festivals, restaurants, startups, and cultural projects.
