Back to original languageAbout Maxime
Art Director and Graphic Designer specializing in editorial design, I create annual reports, white papers, magazines, brochures, and institutional publications from the initial concept to print-ready files.
> Portfolio and projects:
I handle the entire project: art direction, layout creation, content hierarchy, typographic choices, iconography, print and digital adaptations, production monitoring, and coordination of various stakeholders. I can take charge of a complete publication or join a team for a specific stage.
My work consists of making sometimes complex content clearer, more pleasant to read, and easier to navigate. I seek strong graphic ideas, but always in service of the subject, the reader, and the organization's identity.
For over ten years, I have been supporting companies, institutions, and cultural organizations on demanding editorial projects: EDF, Fondation EDF, ENGIE, Centre national de la musique, CMA CGM, Région Normandie, Afdas...
Based in Paris, I work with clients all over France, in a simple, responsive, and committed manner.

Very satisfied with my collaboration with Maxime. It was for the layout of an annual report in English, involving infographics, pictograms, etc. - a layout that required creativity and high standards, all within a rather tight deadline.
Maxime fully met all these expectations for a very high-quality result.
