Born in Brest, I live and work in Brussels. I graduated from the Art & Communication of Cambrai (ÉSAC) in June 2024. Since 2022, I've also been working on commissioned graphic design projects, mainly for cultural organizations and associations. My practice revolves around subjects such as the creative process and tools, access to information and its link with power, autonomy and freedom in a democratic society. I'm interested in the unifying aspect of graphic design and its ability to spark encounters and discussions by offering graphic kits and workshops to different audiences, facilitating the approach to complex notions.
