I’m a London-based French designer and art director who loves coming up with big ideas, crafting beautiful designs, and collaborating with other creatives to produce work that captures audiences’ imagination.
I have worked in-house at the National Theatre, Penguin Books, and Pentland Brands, and my clients’ list includes BAFTA, the Henry Moore Foundation, Somerset House, Unmind, The Almeida Theatre, and The Young Vic.
Inside and outside of work, I am passionate about making the industry a more inclusive place, and I am one of the volunteer organizers of Ladies Wine & Design London, a community group, and events series for women and non-binary creatives.
Projects

- Woman Beware the DevilEngland, 1640. For Lady Elizabeth nothing is more important than protecting her family’s ancestral home. She elicits the help of Agnes, a young servant suspected of witchcraft. But Agnes dreams of being a lady, and nothing will come in her way.

- Christopher NolanI designed the book cover and slipcase for Ian Nathan in-depth study of the life and works of auteur Christopher Nolan published by Quarto.

Ore welcomes Wunmi in her her parents’ home – upstanding citizens who are dedicated to serving their community. But her presence soon disrupts the family unity and cracks start to appear. Has Wunmi walked into a refuge or a trap? We shot three images for the campaign. The flammes ripping through the portraits are inspired by the fire references in the script, such
- Oklahoma!‘Oh what a Beautiful Morning Oh What a Beautiful Day I have a Wonderful Feeling Everything’s going my Way’ The brief: Director Daniel Fish revival of the classic American musical opened off Broadway in 2019 and was a smash hit, dubbed ‘sexy Oklahoma!’ by the press. Usually positioned as a wholesome love story on the frontier, between Curly the cowboy and Laurey, the farmer’s daughter, Daniel Fish’s version unearthed the violence at the heart of the play, through the story of a community banding
