About Olivier

Freelance graphic designer and art director, specializing in editorial and cultural design. For over twenty years, I have been assisting publishers, cultural institutions, and public organizations in the conception of demanding graphic projects: editorial publications, visual identities, catalogs, and communication materials.

My expertise is based on a thorough mastery of editorial design, typography, and layout, as well as a perfect knowledge of the graphic production chain, from concept to manufacturing. Accustomed to complex content (history, science, research, academic fields), I design clear, rigorous, and meaningful visual systems, in close collaboration with editorial and institutional teams.

In parallel to my design activity, I develop a recognized personal artistic practice (painting, collage, drawing). This dual approach—design and artistic practice—fuels my formal requirements and my ability to conceive sensitive, durable, and coherent visual projects.
