Design Services & Capabilities
Every commission begins with a clear goal: to create distinctive, production-ready design systems that are both visually striking and technically precise. Whether designing wine labels for Pic Saint-Loup, pharmaceutical packaging for the DACH region, or brand identity systems for institutions, my process ensures a balance between creativity, strategy, and flawless execution.
My studio integrates illustration, typography, and visual storytelling into complete design workflows. Projects typically include:
- Wine & spirits packaging — complete brand storytelling through illustrated labels, bottle mockups, and cohesive series design (France, Germany, US)
- Pharmaceutical & health product packaging — blister packs, brand mascots, safety communication
- Game & board design — card decks, visual systems, icons, and immersive tabletop graphics
- Event & campaign branding — posters, signage, roll-ups, flyers, vehicle graphics
- Premium product design objects — glassware, jars, coffee cups for Ritzenhoff Germany
Each piece is created with attention to both creative originality and production logic — respecting dielines, gabarits, and prepress standards. Deliverables include layered Illustrator files, high-resolution PDFs, or tailored exports, ensuring smooth collaboration with printers, manufacturers, and digital platforms.
