I am Christine Ferry-Plyer, an art director and graphic designer with a passion for culture, institutions and editorial work. I began my career in Nancy in two local studios, then joined the Strasbourg agency Dans les villes from 1995 to 2018, where I led the visual identities and all communication materials for major cultural projects, including the Opéra national de Lorraine and the Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy. Since 2018 I work as an independent professional, collaborating with theatres, museums, publishers and city projects, always paying close attention to typography and writing. My practice covers identity design, editorial design, signage and project presentation, with a strong capability to manage the full creative and production process from concept to print. I value clear storytelling through visuals and enjoy coordinating with architects, filmmakers and various teams to deliver cohesive, audience-focused communications.
