ABOUTI am a London-based artist, art director and visual designer originally from France. Passionate about typography and the history of visual arts, I’m currently investigating how emerging technologies and new media are progressively redefining our relationship with images, storytelling and language. I’m particularly interested in exploring how this evolution translates into concrete projects, impacting both creative expression and commercial brand applications.





BACKGROUNDAfter earning my Graphic Design degree at ESAM Caen in Normandy, I spent time in Dresden, Germany where I deepened my understanding and love for languages and cultural exploration. My passion for tracing the roots of aesthetic histories then brought me to Paris, where I pursued a BA in Art Market and Antiques at Université Paris-Est. There, I immersed myself in the rich intersections of art history, under the tutelage of renowned curators and experts. This journey equipped me with a deep understanding of the evolution of styles and techniques across typography, print, design, fabrics, furniture, and crafts.

This archival approach fueled my desire to forge new design realities in dialogue with the rich heritage that has shaped our shared cultural legacy. In 2013, I moved to London, a city that further enriched my design perspective, where I collaborated with a plethora of inspiring professionals, from creative studios to small ethical businesses and cultural grassroots organisations. These projects informed an approach to design nurtured by the integration of nature’s patterns and architectural thinking into a comprehensive narrative.
