As a freelance graphic designer, I've been working for 3 years with lifestyle, well-being and cultural brands to help them build a strong, coherent image.

My expertise covers : Branding and editorial design AI-generated scientific visuals (textures inspired by ingredients, product simulations) Web design (showcase site, landing page, emailing) I work in an agile and strategic way to give each project a unique signature, with a view to visual transformation and value creation.
