I designed the visual identity of Villégiatures, a culinary and cultural festival in Cargèse by Grand Cuisine and Villa Flaka. My digital illustrations, inspired by kitchen tiles, blended initials with colorful faience patterns to create a poetic identity bridging craftsmanship and contemporary design.

For Villa Flaka, a hotel nestled in the Corsican maquis, I created a series of illustrations applied across their communication materials.
Inspired by the local landscape — lush vegetation, soft colours and organic lines — the work shapes a warm, graphic identity that reflects the spirit of the place.
Beyond the records, I extended this visual language for Rue de Plaisance into posters for their events at iconic venues like Rex Club Paris, Watergate Berlin, Chalet Berlin and Badaboum Paris.
I was invited by OD gallery to present in a collectiv exhibition my vision of Amsterdam through a three-color screen print, produced in 2020 by Colormakerz.
From 2010 to 2018, I co-founded Zirkumflex in Berlin with Brice Delarue. The gallery quickly became a hybrid space — at once gallery, studio and publishing house — dedicated to graphic design, publishing and experimental artistic practices. This experience deeply shaped my approach as an illustrator and designer, grounding it in a constant dialogue between art, architecture and graphic design.
In 2019, I created a series of watercolor drawings for the communication of psychologist Dipl. Psych. Julia Gassen in Berlin. These delicate illustrations conveyed warmth and sensitivity, reflecting the welcoming spirit of her practice.
2009, the studio Gusto from Bordeaux propose me to illustrate one page in their guide about the city of Bordeaux.
"Loin de tout était un bois" is a 22 pages black and white edition produced by the studio Bon pour un tour.
Founded in 2010, Kunstverein Milano is a nonprofit curatorial platform dedicated to experimental contemporary art, hosting exhibitions, screenings, a library and pop-up projects as spaces for dialogue and collaboration. That same year, I created four ballpoint pen drawings titled “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” for their membership cards, turning functional objects into collectible artworks that merged symbolism with the institution’s experimental spirit.
I am a French illustrator and designer, born in 1980 and based in Berlin. My work combines expressive ink drawing with graphic precision, exploring the space between raw instinct and narrative form. [more info]
