About

With over 10 years of experience in visual communication, I support brands and creatives in designing coherent, sensitive and strategic visual universes. My expertise spans in art direction, photography, fashion and luxury environments, event design, content creation, as well as trend analysis and decoding. I work from strategic thinking through to production, developing imagery and narratives that strengthen brand identity, desirability and clarity. My approach combines aesthetic rigor, editorial vision and storytelling, with particular attention to detail, emotion and overall coherence across projects. Available for both one-off projects and long-term collaborations, I would be happy to discuss your needs and imagine tailored visual solutions together.
