In September 2008, "La Vie du Rail" magazine asked me to accompany two journalists to Lille for the "Grande Braderie" (Great Sale). Objective: to sketch the stations, draw the SNCF staff, and capture the atmosphere of the platforms and waiting rooms, to illustrate a special issue of the magazine.

Article theme: the impact of the Grande Braderie on regional rail organization. Result: we created a "Logbook," combining text and drawings. I was able to create some drawings at the same time the journalists were conducting their interviews, thus creating an instant graphic report.

Following this format, I offer the following services to companies:

Team building allowing company employees to acquire the basics of professional drawing.

Possibility of illustrating an internal magazine or an annual report with drawings created during a team-building event.

Possibility of creating custom drawings and watercolors for your documents (greeting cards, White Papers, slideshows).

Creation of graphic content for your websites, intranets, and social media.

In 2011, the Association Progrès du Management (APM) invited me to lead the workshop "Travel Notebook: How to See Your Daily Life Differently." During a one-day seminar, about twenty business leaders engaged in learning to draw. Objective: to become aware of the choices a painter faces during the creative process. Participants discovered the importance of observation, attention, and creativity – qualities that can be applied to daily management.

The workshop was illustrated with examples from Art History.

Benefits for participants:

Increased confidence in their ability to see and surpass themselves.

A tool for self-assessment and personal development.

Insights for reconciling a big-picture view with attention to detail.

I offer this type of workshop, which can be easily organized in your company's seminar room, or outdoors. The workshop can extend over two days if necessary, perhaps abroad or in a picturesque setting?

From 2011 to 2015, the Calao association, responsible for organizing leisure activities for the staff of the Louvre Museum, entrusted me with leading several "Travel Notebook at the Louvre" workshops for Museum employees.

Six times a year, we created graphic reports in the Museum's galleries. Objective: to allow Louvre staff to rediscover their workplace, enhance their creativity, and observe the hidden wonders that the eye doesn't always see.

The drawings created were exhibited in the Louvre Museum's cafeteria. A great success due to their talent, which sparked the interest of their colleagues, who enjoyed discussing the subject during their daily lunch at the company cafeteria.
