Professional Information
 

Dear visitors,

 

Welcome to my portfolio website!

 

Here you'll find an overview of the illustration projects I can undertake. The world of fairy tales, children's stories, as well as cinematography and artists throughout history, permeate my imagination. I also enjoy observing nature and drawing inspiration from it.

 

I offer my services to professionals and individuals to illustrate books, design and produce posters, cards, and various other materials for publishing.

I create human or animal portraits or landscapes for the fields of greeting cards, children's or documentary books, and educational games.

My graphic universe also applies to decorative arts (tableware, interior decoration, visual communication, etc.).

 

I use traditional techniques (watercolor, illumination, wash, line drawing technique) but also digital ones on a tablet with the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign for their layout).

 

When placing an order, my general terms and conditions of sale (GTC) will be attached to the quote.

 

Feel free to contact me using the contact details above.

My professional experience
 

Illustrator

2024-Present

 

Throughout my studies and subsequent teaching career, I have continuously created projects and experimented with various techniques (watercolor, kiri-e paper cutting, illumination, cyanotype, linocut, etc.). For the past two years, I have developed and refined my creations with a professional focus. I offer my services as an illustrator, applying them to the children's publishing sector and a variety of media: posters, flyers, logos, cards, and brochures. I design projects from the initial graphic research phase to the final product, excluding printing.

Primary school teacher in the Versailles Academy

2020 - 2024

Teaching in preschool and elementary school has inspired me to develop my illustrative projects for young audiences. Sparking children's interest and their love of learning is truly rewarding. And it is through art that I wish to continue this transmission.

Training
 

Master 1 and 2 MEEF Primary Education

ISFEC La Salle Mounier de Paris

2019-2021

 

During my Master's degree in Teaching, Education, and Training (MEEF), specifically the "Educational Projects in the Cultural and Intercultural Field" track in the second year, I learned to make educational content more engaging and relevant. Adapting to children's needs, fostering creativity, and embracing interdisciplinarity informed my thesis, entitled "Artistic and Physical Practice in Preschool: A Learning Aid?"

 

With this training, my research and the years of teaching that followed, I am convinced that art constitutes a contribution and even an asset for the school and extracurricular learning of children from kindergarten onwards.

Bachelor's Degree in Art History, ICP

2015-2017

 

With the equivalent of a first-year university degree, I pursued a bachelor's degree in art history, which has enriched my graphic work. All artistic periods thus represent a source of inspiration depending on the themes, stories, and subjects to be illustrated.

BTS Communication Design, Space and Volume (packaging, POS, stand)

ENSAAMA - Olivier de Serres

2013-2015

 

I trained for two years as an event designer, learning to create packaging, point-of-sale (POS) advertising, and event stands based on specifications. This vocational diploma (BTS) is now invaluable to me for developing projects in the field of illustration, particularly in the children's sector, but also in decorative arts.
