“Visual communications of any kind, whether persuasive or informative, from billboards to birth announcements, should be seen as the embodiment of form and function: the integration of the beautiful and the useful.”
― Paul Rand, Thoughts on Design .
As a successful Designer for the past 14 years, I specialize in creative, quality, minimal & clean graphic design and thrive on the challenges every new project brings. I have worked for some of France & New Zealand’s top design and communications companies including Publicis, Euro RSCG, Saatchi & Saatchi, BBDO, Ogilvy, MRM McCANN, FullsixGroup, Havas... for prestigious clients such as Air France, Lacoste, L'Oréal, Lancôme, Windows, CANAL+, Samsung, Sony, Airbus, Lexus… I worked with numerous organisations including advertising agencies, entrepreneur, design studios, brands, and startups.
Working in diverse sectors has given me a breadth of industry experience, and the ability to design dynamic strategies relevant to the communication context at hand. I focus on Digital projects such as UX & UI, for TV, widget, tablets and apps. On the other hand, I teach courses in Superior private schools and online.
At Kraie, I offer UI/UX design services for startups and established businesses and deliver mobile and web products that make the impact and win the audience's attention. I love to help great companies fulfill their potential.
I partner with my clients to create brands that are meaningful, memorable and iconic. With Design Effectiveness recognition, I deliver real return on investment.
After several years as a photographer, I am excited to offer a brand-new photography service that will revolutionise the way you deliver quality visual content for your client’s digital marketing campaigns.
As a digital designer I work like a full service agency, and can deliver a complete solution for my clients. I also bring together specialists from all areas of the business on to projects so that you can take full advantage of our knowledge and experience.
I focus on creating state-of-the-art interfaces and designs smart digital products for business and entertainment, builds brands, websites, apps, and other software. UI/UX design services focus on helping you realize your vision and showcase your products to generate greater profit.
The standards of the digital industry remain, but the tools change quickly, for a decade and the arrival of multiple devices, we have seen the evolution of platforms and creative tools. The first revolutions were the comfort of reading, the access to information, and the role of the user. Technology watch is therefore an integral part of the profession.
I started my professional Design career back in 2006, at the age of 21, with an artistic cursus at the University in Toulouse, and a diploma with honors in a private design school in Marseille. After having my diplomas in hand, I went to look for opportunities in Paris where I worked as a freelance Art Director for the biggest agencies for 5 years, then I extended my activity abroad in the Pacific several years later.
