✦THE STORY OF MY ART

Since childhood, I’ve been driven by two instincts: performance and creation. Whether through drawing, styling, staging, or transforming spaces, I’ve always been drawn to making environments feel alive, immersive, and unforgettable.
 

Today, as a Visual Designer, I specialize in transforming spaces by reworking the story that already exists. I don’t erase identity ;
reinterpret it. Using the resources already present, I reshape mood, flow, and visual language to create cohesive, atmospheric environments that feel intentional and expressive.
 

My practice is rooted in an unconventional professional path. From animal training for film to boutique display management, fast-paced kitchens, and working across different countries, each experience sharpened essential skills: precision, adaptability, problem-solving, and calm under pressure. These experiences inform how I work ; with intelligence, respect for constraints, and a strong sense of visual narrative.
 

Blending technical knowledge with artistic vision, I work at the intersection of set design, spatial storytelling, and visual direction. Whether reworking a boutique, building a set, or refining an existing environment, my focus is always the same: revealing potential, creating atmosphere, and making spaces where stories come to life.

WHAT I DO 

✦ Space Reworking & Visual Direction - for boutiques, studios, and creative spaces
I reinterpret existing spaces by working with what’s already there. Through rearranging, editing, and layering, I create mood, flow, and a clear visual narrative.

 

✦ Boutique Visuals & Store Displays - helping shops attract attention and create rhythm
I refine shop environments and window displays to strengthen identity, create visual rhythm, and make people stop, look, and feel.


✦ Set & Atmosphere - Design for shows, events, and immersive experiences
For shows, events, and installations, I design immersive environments where space, objects, and storytelling meet.


✦ Curated Visual Sourcing (when needed)
I source objects, materials, and vintage elements only when they serve the vision — never excess, always intention.

FESTIVAL NOEL DANS LE PARC 
For this project, I worked with the space as it was, reinterpreting existing elements and introducing just a few additions. Projects like these are especially rewarding, because they push creativity ; transforming what’s already there into a cohesive, expressive environment.

Titanic ; an immersive voyage
For the Titanic exhibition, the focus was on historical accuracy and artifact handling. My passion for vintage objects guided me as I dressed mannequins and collaborated closely with the artifact handler to faithfully recreate each scene requested, ensuring the exhibition was visually authentic.

The Taboo Factory
The Taboo Factory was both my home and an event space designed for women to thrive. I created an atmosphere where visitors could feel regal while also connecting with their playful, inner child. With the pole, stage, and aerial rigging points, this space has been especially meaningful to me.

​This project involved crafting the event’s atmosphere directly in the space. I reimagined a normal venue on the spot, creating the right vibe for the Lady Porcelaine Ball.

DISPLAY DESIGNER
 

I’ve worked with many boutiques to reorganize and redesign store displays, making existing spaces more visually engaging and attractive to customers. By reworking what’s already there, I help shops create a cohesive, eye-catching experience.
