Art is the literature of the imagination
It was an October morning in 1995. I was 9 years old, and I was selling my first drawings in the market square of a little nothern french town. It wasn't much, and I didn't know it at this moment, but my artist carreer had just begun.
Art is the Literature of the Imagination. And this is perhaps the reason why, during my youth, I always preferred drawing lessons to those which taught me something else ; I always preferred imagining than living. It was therefore, quite naturally, that I failed my schooling.
In 2003, at the age of 16, I was expelled from the french school system. I was stuck there, without a diploma in a country which nevertheless only respect them. This type of episode is not the best way to fuel this new particularly Instagrammable concept called “Self-confidence”. And that’s probably what made me hate conventions, standards, frameworks, and, above all, made me believe — wrongly — that certain things were not achievable. And, fortunately, certainties can fade.
After a little time and a lot of effort, I finally obtained my high school diploma as a free candidate and I validated two master's degrees in law, before definitively putting aside the legal world to transform my childhood dreams into projects to carry out. 24 years after selling my first drawings, I founded my first Design studio.
Today, I am a brand designer, graduated with a Bachelor in Graphic Design at the École Supérieure des Métiers des Arts et de la Culture.
My Master Field is the development of graphic identities as well as the research and development of modern branding.
I mainly collaborate with start-ups wishing to stand out through trends in very competitive sectors. I also had the pleasure of working with French SMEs to boost their communications and reveal their full marketing potential.
In short, I like working with professionals who — as I do — are crazy enough to believe in themselves.
