I’m a French Art Director and Graphic Designer. After years between Berlin, Rome and Milan I’m now based in Paris. I collaborated with Pomo and Macsiotti, currently creative at Landor & Fitch.
I dedicate an important part of my design process to the exploration, at this step the freedom of experimentation is essential. For me the design must interact with the user, set off a sensation, an emotion.
My skills include Art Direction, Graphic Design, Visual identity, Type Design, Packaging, Editorial Design, Digital Design.
Transmission and pedagogy have also an important part in my approach, I teach since 2012 and I’m regularly involved in workshops with various audiences. From 2018 to 2021 I teached Editorial Design at Raffles Milano.
Some of my projects are archived in the collections of the MoMA New York and CNAP in Paris.
