About Stéphane

With 30 years of experience in the printing industry, I have a solid understanding of the graphic chain. As a business owner and entrepreneur, I have not only managed my own printing company but also founded several magazines.

My work as a graphic designer is deeply influenced by this experience. I don't just create a graphic universe that reflects your company; I also proactively suggest communication materials and their content, and guide you through the entire process (from conception to printing) to ensure relevant and successful communication. I can also oversee production through my network of printing partners, thereby guaranteeing the quality and timely delivery of your prints at competitive prices.

My designs prioritize information readability and a pleasant, logical reading experience. Each project is an opportunity for me to push my limits, explore new graphic universes, immerse myself in trends while incorporating my personal touch. I am very rigorous, with great attention to detail, and always ensure that my work aligns with the technical constraints of the printing processes used.

I also handle photo editing (color correction, retouching, background removal, photo manipulation) and can, upon request, perform photo shoots.

I always strive to involve my clients in my creative process, aiming for you to embrace the work, be proud of it, and be convinced that it truly reflects the image you wish to convey.

    March 2014 - April 2017 (3 years and 2 months)
    Compiègne, France
    I created the unique concept for this free magazine highlighting local businesses, artisans, and artists, as well as the cultural and tourist heritage of the Compiègne region and the wider Oise department, through sponsored articles.
    Sharing and promoting our favorite finds, offering shopping selections in fashion, decor, and gastronomy exclusively from local independent businesses were also among the magazine's objectives (5 issues per year).
    I defined the business plan that ensured profitability from the first issue (24 pages, 5,000 copies printed by Alpha Graphic).
    I created the magazine's branding guidelines, designed each issue, and handled the printing of the first two, followed by production monitoring for subsequent issues with one of my printing partners. I actively participated in sales to advertisers and in the distribution of these magazines in partner shops across the Oise. Finally, I managed the Facebook page, serving as a vital link with our readers.
