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 Netflix, the Barbican, the Almeida Theatre, the Young Vic, BAFTA and the Henry Moore Foundation
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.

- Untitled F*ck M*ss S**gon PlayIn this new play, Kim is having one of those days. A terrible, very bad, no-good kind of day, and the worst part is… it all feels horribly familiar, and she begins to wonder: is there a way to escape? Kimber Lee’s dark comedy jumps through time and places – from Madame Butterfly’s Japan, to M*ss S**gon’s war-torn Vietnam, to today’s Brooklyn – exploding lifetimes of repeating Asian stereotypes, and wrestling history for the right to control your own narrative. The image uses a geisha profile sh
- Barbican 'Make Concrete Plans this Summer' CampaignThe brief was to create a destination campaign for the Barbican to promote the activities happening at the iconic art centre that summer – from outdoor cinema, to the pop up bar by Lakeside. The campaign concept was inspired by a body of work on Childrens Games by artist Francis Aylis, and turns the iconic architecture into a playground, where both kids and adults can come to explore and play this summer. We commissioned illustrator Josephine Rais to create a series of illustrations highlighti
- The HomecomingIn Harold Pinter’s play set in a working-class house in East London in the 1960s, a family of butchers and boxers’ life is disrupted when son Teddy returns home from America, with Ruth, his wife his family have never met. The men of the house try to assert their authority over her, but Ruth has her own agenda, and a strange power struggle ensues. The artwork shows Ruth’s arrival in the house (its her ‘homecoming’ in many ways), where she comes face to face with the intimidating patriarch, Max,
- Romeo and JulietDirector Rebecca Frecknall didn’t want the image to look romantic, so the image takes up straight to the play’s ending, with the lovers lying dying on the floor of the crypt, their hands intertwined to show that even in death they won’t go alone. The camera is straight above them, a ‘God’ like point of view that reinforces their powerlessness. The set hints at two scene in the production’s: a slab of concrete is laid on the floor as the stage at the very beginning, and the company lights a wal
- 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. The artwork is a stately portrait of Agnes, inspired by the mid 1600 painting style, but defaced with a pentagram – the most famous of the witchcraft symbols, and a nod to ‘the devil’s mark’ that a witchfinder is tasked to find on her body.
- 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. The book cracks open the magic box of the filmmaker twisting universe, deciphering his cryptic pronouncements and examining the making of and the inspiration behind his films, from Memento, to Batman films, and Inception – with Leonardo DiCaprio’s spinning top inspiring the design of the cover.
