In praise of softness

December, 2024

“What state of matter defines slack since it is neither
solid nor liquid?” Jean Baptiste Botul

Erwin Wurm’s Fat Car project is a series in which he
transforms cars, usually symbols of speed and luxury,
into exaggeratedly inflated and distorted, obese-
looking objects. With Fat Car, Wurm explores themes
of over-consumption, excess and materialism, while
injecting a dose of humor and absurdity into car
culture. This animation highlights the work of Erwin
Wurm to promote a retrospective exhibition.

Triangular typeface

March, 2024

Impik is a typeface designed using a geometric grid.
Each letter, composed of triangles and rectangles,
displays a sharp, incisive yet balanced aesthetic.
This typeface only exists in uppercase. Its thick
and thin strokes create a strong contrast against
the background. The interplay of sharp angles
and geometric forms gives the typeface a striking
presence, making it ideal for impactful headlines
and titles.
Impik is introduced as an incise, reminiscent
of Roman typefaces carved in stone. This blend
of classical inspiration and contemporary design.

Bricks poster

December, 2024

No limit, no rules. Every day assemble bricks and give free
rein to your creativity to build a unique creation that reflects you.

This screen-printed poster reflects the world of the Lego brand.
A symbol of creativity and imagination, Lego can be recognized
by its small, interlocking bricks that enable infinite construction.
Its bright colors, from red to blue to yellow, evoke a playful world
accessible to all. Founded on the idea of modular play, the brand
encourages experimentation and freedom of invention. With Lego,
every assembly tells a story and pushes back the limits of construction.

Youngtimers

October, 2024

Based on the Youngtimers car magazine, I redesigned
the magazine and adapted it to the website. I designed
the Youngtimers web site. The site showcases the cars
featured in the magazine, while presenting the technical
information essential for car enthusiasts. I optimized
the ergonomics and user experience for smooth,
intuitive navigation. Each car model has a detailed
description with photos, performance and history.
The site also features a community section where
enthusiasts can exchange and share their experiences.

Designers at Vallauris

September, 2023

Layout of an art book: Des Designer à Vallauris.
This book recounts the Saint-Étienne biennial
international design event, in which the town
of Vallauris encouraged interaction between
designers, who are usually confronted with
industrial production, and Vallauris potters
(such as Frédéric Ruyant and Patrick Jouin),
with their exceptional, historic craftsmanship,
thus revitalizing local production.

Happy Hour - Coasters

January, 2025

I create screen-printed coasters for bars that sell
the Ginger Flame brand of non-alcoholic drinks.
Bars receive these coasters as gifts when they order
bottles of Ginger Flame.

A guide for hikers

June, 2024

This layout project celebrates the mountains as a true
playground to explore. Designed for outdoor enthusiasts,
it offers an immersive editorial experience by showcasing
the numerous hikes available around Morzine. This guide
informs hikers about must-see trails, their difficulty levels,
and the landscapes to discover. Perfect for planning outings
with peace of mind, this project demonstrates how graphic
design can be a tool for exploration and discovery.
Through engaging visuals, it captures the spirit of adventure
and the beauty of the alpine environment.

Route of a line

December, 2024

To promote the Navigo pass, I’ve designed
a topographical map for hikers in the Paris region.
It highlights the Grande Randonnée (GR) trails near Paris.
The map, folded in a zigzag pattern, evokes a GR segment
and creates a playful and surprising relief. With no towns
or roads, it concentrates on the lines: trails, reliefs, markers
and RER lines. A list of stations provides access to the stages,
highlighting their role in the walking itinerary. Inspired by eki
stamps, collectable stamps appear at each station to complete
the GR route.

Feminist edition

May, 2024

Creation of a collection identity for a series
of committed feminist essays: Atlas Mondial
des Femmes, Femmes Remarquables
du Moyen Age, Insoumises. The feminist
collection takes a contemporary view
of history, going against received ideas
about women's place in society.

Film photography

March, 2020

Series of photographs taken in a supermarket
in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.

Bauhaus exhibition

January, 2024

This poster embodies the Bauhaus aesthetic,
combining functionality, minimalism and innovation.
It promotes an exhibition tracing the history of
the Bauhaus, highlighting its major influence
on modern design and architecture.
The geometric typography and structured grid
recall the principles of clarity and order dear to
this movement. The grid image of Marianne
Brandt's teapot illustrates the Bauhaus approach
to fusing craft and industry. Finally, references
to iconic artists such as Kandinsky and Mondrian
anchor this exhibition in the Bauhaus heritage.

Internship report

July, 2024

After a three-months internship at Madame Monsieur
agency, in Paris, I made an internship report which takes
the form of a plan. This plan is intended to guide future
interns as they carry out their internship in this studio.
For example, I’ve included tips on Adobe suite software,
a map of the agency, the type of work I did during my internship…
and on a more hunouristic note, places to eat lunch near the agency.

Happy Hour - Thesis

January, 2025

Alcohol has a certain importance in French culture.
It is a central element of social practices, notably
through celebratory rituals. This French tradition
has such an impact that it is difficult to dissociate
alcohol from social interactions. This social pressure
influences the perception of what is acceptable
at social events.

Photographic report

May, 2020

Series of film photography taken during the George Floyd protests.
The aim of this photographic series was to immortalize a moment
of mourning. The photographs were taken in Madison, Wisconsin,
USA, the day after George Floyd’s death. They capture the raw
emotions of a community in grief, as well as the powerful unity
that emerged in the face of such a tragic loss.

Dolce vita

October, 2024

Promotional video for Animal Fûté 13.
It's a pet-sitting system between individuals
in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
The goal was to highlight that, thanks
to Animal Fûté, the pet will also have
a great vacation and be treated like royalty.
The video was filmed at Place d'Italie,
the vibrant heart of the 13th.

Group project with :
Margot Lucas, Gabrielle Tordjmann (@gabrielle_tordjmann),
Maureen VIllemagne (@maureenvillemagne), Sophie Zhan.

Handle it

May, 2024

Handle it is a cup with a bold design, featuring an oversized
handle that redefines grip. Its name is a play on words:
“Handle it” means “hold it”, while its large handle emphasizes
just this function. This object explores the balance between
utility and exaggeration, highlighting the relationship between
the hand and the everyday object.
