Proud multi-skilled caribbean creator! 🔥
I have 8 years of experience as an art director, specialised in graphic design (print, digital, motion). I'm also a freelance photographer and videographer for 14 years.
My expertise is mainly focused on visual identity projects, rebranding and creation of visual items to help my clients' communication. My photo and video skills allow me to provide versatile work beyond the simple work of a designer.
I have a particular interest in contemporary social issues, which is why I enjoy working with committed or activist editorial departments, as well as public sector and charities. My clients also include ethical cosmetics brands, NGOs, music labels, podcasts and creatives who want to showcase their work.
My profile can also matches to creative agencies or studios that sell their skills to other clients.
I am available for both permanent and freelance work, on-site or remote.

In May 2020, the live footage of George Floyd's murder crystallized a harsh reality. As they went around the world, these videos have triggered an awakening, an out
- Master thesis "the black panther — black community news service, for and by black people, a graphic matter" - 2021Abstract: “Enter "black graphic designers" in a French search engine. You will find nothing but results related to the colour black as a medium or studios using the word black as a qualifier, excluding its sociological and political meaning. From my point of view as a black French graphic design student, I question the absence black creators in art school lectures. Meanwhile, in 2020, the question of the representation of the black body was raised through the media coverage of the Michel Zecler
