I’m a visual communicator and art director working at the intersection of cultural research, material storytelling, and considered design. My practice centres on translating research, history, and lived experience into cohesive visual worlds.
With a background in jewellery and textiles, my work moves between fashion, craft, and editorial spaces, shaping narratives through image, sequencing, and material sensitivity. I’m particularly drawn to brands defined by mythology, sustainability, and quiet luxury — where storytelling is embedded in both process and presentation.
Across campaigns, social platforms, and digital environments, I develop content direction that prioritises clarity, rhythm, and continuity. From single-image curation to full collection art direction, I approach each project with attention to tone, composition, and long-term cohesion.
Based in France and collaborating internationally, I work across art direction, visual storytelling, and ongoing brand world-building for independent, research-led brands.
