    uniE621 Design for a Book cover
    Editorial & Illustration Design A series of three book covers imagined for a youth collection about energy, curiosity, and adventure. Each cover explores a different color universe and composition, yet the series keeps a strong, cohesive identity — distinct volumes, one unified style. On every illustration, a small star shines near the characters’ eyes — a subtle symbol of what drives youth: their spark, boldness, and that electric energy that pushes them to chase what sets their world ablaze. This project blends illustration, graphic design, and visual storytelling to create bold, lively covers that speak to young readers.
    uniE621 Documentary Poster - "Life in the Countryside, Welcome to Haute-Marne"
    This project is part of the documentary created by the collective “Les Coflocs,” which highlights the Haute-Marne region. Through this film, the collective aims to revalue this lesser-known area by showcasing its natural, historical, and cultural treasures. The illustration created to represent Haute-Marne brings together iconic symbols of the region in a poetic allegory, symbolizing a warm and dynamic place, reminiscent of a magical land.

    paper Graphic adaptation - Au Bonheur des Dames (Emile ZOla)
    This visual adaptation brings to life a powerful excerpt from Zola’s novel "Au Bonheur des Dames", focusing on the brutal layoffs orchestrated by the character of Bourdoncle. Rendered in black and white, the graphic style conveys the social violence and oppressive hierarchy of the department store, far from the lush descriptions of the original text. Cinematic framing, frozen gazes, and tiny bodies dwarfed by authority draw the viewer into the cold injustice of the system, captured in one chilling line : "Passez à la caisse !" - meaning : "You are fired !" illustrator graphicdesigner
