GRAPHICS & DESIGN

My background is in literature & linguistics first, and graphic design & illustration second, which is why my bio, reversing the order, reads graphic artist and writer.

I don’t do a lot of graphic design anymore but graphic designer is technically the one job title I can claim (especially here in France where you need an official piece of paper to do almost anything).

This is my website, my home online, so I’ll be totally honest, because here I can: I hate pure graphic design work for big clients. I hate the endless back and forth about colours and font sizes, waiting for revisions, last minute text changes, the list goes on and on… (great work with me page, isn’t it?) and so I don’do it anymore.

That said, I do love working on normal projects with normal people. Ideally fellow creatives (but anyone really) who simply don’t have the design or software skills (or software), the facility or time to do things themselves.

I can help with logo design, business cards, brand identity, website design (which is not at all the same thing as web design!), social media content, photo editing, book design & publishing, newsletter design, print materials, and of course illustrations to go with any of the above.
