Visual identity for Evoke, a film production company based in New York City. The geometric stencil can be deconstructed like a puzzle and rearranged. The animation conjures the spirit of filmmaking and the ephemerality of memories by only evoking the mark instead of revealing it all at once.

Sidewalk Labs is a Google project who's mission is to use technology to improve life in cities, and to solve urban problems. The visual identity we designed is a street-sign inspired modular box system. Additional word pairings can be attached like blocks to add information like the location or the date of an event.

Des Rayures et des Étoiles is the product of my first trip to New York City. Immediately fascinated by the importance of the American flag in the city's landscape, I began using the flag as a means of exploring the city and its people. During my journey the project took the form of an interactive tumblr. When I returned to France I designed a book with all the information I'd recorded.

Poster series announcing the Lecture of Frederik De Bleser about Nodebox at the ÉSAD Valence, made with Baptiste Guesnon and Samuel Gadea.

After we played with the parameters of the size and the number of boxes to generate six different posters.—website
