About

Hi, I’m Jess Barrais, a digital designer and art director with extensive experience shaping visual experiences for premium brands. I specialize in art direction for digital platforms, motion design for social content, and branded campaigns that balance creative concept with practical production.
Over the years I’ve led creative teams at Condé Nast, Mondadori France, Lagardère Active, and Aufeminin, collaborating closely with editors and product teams to deliver engaging editorial and advertising experiences across web and mobile. I’m passionate about UX-driven design, brand identity, and storytelling through motion, and I thrive in international settings in Paris and beyond.
