I was born and raised in Paris, France.
In May 09, I graduated from U of Penn, where I majored in Graphic Design. I
have substantial graphic, digital and publishing experience. I have worked
on a range of projects from layout
design to environmental graphics.
From September '09 to February '10,
I was a Creative Intern at Diane von Furstenberg's Studio. Then I switched over to publishing, and worked at
Travel + Leisure. After that, I freelanced
in the cable/media industry for three months at NBC's USA Network as
a Print Designer.
I am now the Associate Art Director
at GQ Magazine on the promotional/ marketing side. I'm really excited about this new chapter in my career.
I provide branding, illustration, layout design, print design, corporate identity (logo) design and web design. If you're looking for something in particular,
please feel free to send an email.
I am living in New York City, working
full-time at GQ and freelancing on the
side for Sundance and Peter Som.
I aspire to work with artists and
individuals who want to make their
ideas come to life through the
power of design.
