À propos

I'm a freelance illustrator based in Quimper, West of France. Since I graduated in 2017 from ENSAD Paris in Print media, I’ve partnered with clients ranging from public institutions (TGV INOUÏ, Dole's Museum of Fine Arts, Ateliers Médicis, CROUS…), growing businesses (Le chocolat des Français…), and

...

press medias (Flush, Cin’Épi, Errratum, Hiatus…). Synthesizing ideas and insights I focus on telling meaningful stories and transmitting accurately the visual emotion each project requires.
