About Sophie

I have been working as a creative and art director for over 15 years in the world of luxury perfumery and cosmetics, as well as spirits, and for a few years now, projects directly related to the environment, social and solidarity economy (SSE), and also feminist and LGBTQIA+ struggles.

I recently worked at La Fourche on a permanent contract as Head of Design, managing the overall visual strategy and its implementation with internal teams and external collaborators.

I am now a freelancer working with agencies, direct clients, and entrepreneurs.

For each project, I aim not only to meet your request but also to help you see beyond. Through active listening and a new approach that considers current and future challenges, we can create something respectful, beautiful, and timeless together.

Here's what I enjoy doing:
- Brand / competitor / strategy analysis
- Conception, mood boards
- Creative direction: to grasp a project generally or for creatives or the brand
- Visual identities, logos, graphic guidelines
- Illustrations, drawing
- Publishing, layout
- Visuals: products, ingredients, advertising intent
- Art direction for websites, newsletter layout
- Packaging, boxes, bottle design, creative gift box design
- Gardening (well done if you've made it this far).
