Practice and values:
My work blends material craft with digital experimentation, combining commissioned projects with personal research in drawing, photography, and visual experimentation. I try to develop an inclusive, ecologically aware, and socially engaged design practice, approaching each project as an opportunity to learn, exchange, and create shared meaning.

Experiences:
Since 2012, I have worked in freelance and in-house roles in France and abroad, developing a pragmatic, context-aware approach to design and seeking to decentralize my knowledge of the field.

From 2022 to 2025, I taught illustration and graphic design at Piktura, the art school dedicated to narrative image of l'Université Catholique de Lille. I contributed to the development of the illustration program and the creation of a Master’s degree in Illustration and Publishing, aiming to bridge the gap (still present in France) between illustration and graphic design.
Today, I remain committed to knowledge sharing and transmission, while refocusing my practice on creative, collaborative, and research-based projects. I'm member of Phaaares, a shape-shifting marine inspired art collective that creates and supports artists in multi-dimensional, polyphonic, graphic, and digital art projects.
