About

I’m an Art Director and Visual Strategist shaping visual systems across editorial, cultural, and experiential contexts.

My work sits at the intersection of structure and expression — crafting visual narratives that are articulate, intentional, and built to evolve. From campaigns to spatial design, from type experiments to editorial frameworks, I create design languages that don’t decorate — they activate.

I collaborate with players in the cultural, editorial, academic and AI-driven innovation sectors — translating values into visual coherence, and vision into tangible form.

I believe design has the power to clarify, connect, and care — shaping new imaginaries, challenging norms, and giving form to what matters.

I co-founded Studio Mirage and I’m currently launching Studio Colossal — creative platforms dedicated to design as a strategic, cultural and civic tool.

Based between Marseille, Rome and Paris. Open to bold missions and meaningful encounters.
