About Valentine

Art director and freelance illustrator based in Lyon.
I create complete visual identities and custom illustrated universes. My positioning is hybrid: I bring both the strategic structure of branding and the expressive sensitivity of illustration. That's what makes my approach different.
I support brands in the creation or redesign of their visual identity, and agencies looking for a solid creative profile to strengthen their projects.
Available for one-off assignments or long-term collaborations.
