About me
I’m a passionate illustrator looking for challenges. I’ve worked in advertising for over three years, delivering high-quality visuals for the HSBC, Guinness, GSK, Danone and many more. This brought me to work on the Poster for the Fisherman campaign which won a bronze Lion in 2017. Since 2014, I’ve been freelancing for Switzerland and the UK. I particularly enjoyed producing editorial cartooning for the BBC and digital illustration for the new Tetley flavoured Tea collection (currently in production). I am always looking for new challenges.I’ve got no difficulties to change between different graphic styles and can adapt easily according to the direction. I am also open to commissions for individuals such as stationery (illustration for T-shirts, mugs, bags), greeting cards, personalised birthday cards, baby announcement cards etc.

    Posters For Catching FishermenThe problem to solve? How to give information to the fishermen about the venomous Lionfish which is destroying the Caribbean ecosystem.

     - London, United KingdomFull Time
    I've been working for advertising companies for nearly three years at Geometry (part of WPP), delivering high-quality visuals and artwork. My job as a full-time illustrator/visualiser consisted in: - Creating computer and/or traditional black and white line drawings. I can also take these to full finished colour illustrations used for advertising concepts and finished artwork (in the public domain). - Boosting projects/ideas by providing strong visual supports for Clients’ presentations or as guidance for Designers. - Working as part of a team with Art Directors, Copywriters and Designers. - Quick hand-drawn illustrations to rapidly interpret ideas during briefings/brainstorming. During the visualisation process, I can take a lead by proposing simple solutions to improve the visual impact of the Art Directors’ scamps. I also acquired experience in storyboarding, packaging and brand design (icons) and I have worked on a wide range of clients.
