Born in Brest (Brittany, France) and currently studying at ÉSAC Cambrai in first year of master, I'm interested about many fields of graphic design. My practice is articulated around different themes ranging from methods and tools of creation (including open source tools), to media, questioning a possible improvement to tend towards a fair and egalitarian society. I think graphic design has the power to federate, to bring about discussions and meetings. I often directly use images or shapes from everyday life to create and I also question the relation between print and digital media, trying to exploit their potentials.
