Back to original languageAbout Michael
My name is Michael Damby, I am a Graphic Designer, UX/UI Designer and Illustrator based in Paris.
For over 15 years, I have been designing visual universes and digital experiences for brands, startups, associations, and studios looking for a strong and coherent identity.
After several years as a freelancer and in communication agencies, I have collaborated with various structures – from innovative young companies to players in the health and entertainment sectors – on projects ranging from the creation of complete graphic guidelines to the design of web platforms and mobile applications.
I am also an author and illustrator, with over 50,000 copies sold through my works, which has allowed me to refine my sense of visual storytelling and narrative art direction.
My passion: creating meaningful designs that can tell a story and evoke emotion.
I enjoy blending the rigor of UX design with the freedom of illustration to create lively, accessible, and memorable interfaces.
I can help you to:
• Design or redesign your visual identity (logo, graphic charter, brand universe)
• Create user-centered web and mobile interfaces (UX/UI, wireframes, design systems, prototyping)
• Imagine custom illustrations and visuals for your campaigns, products, or editorial materials
• Support you in your entire design strategy: from creative thinking to operational implementation
- My tools: Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Blender, Framer
- My values: creativity, clarity, kindness, and rigor
- Based in Paris, available in person or remotely
My goal is simple: to help you transform an idea into a strong visual experience, always finding the right balance between aesthetics, meaning, and emotion.
