Hi!
I’m Isabelle, a Swiss and French creative based in Zürich, driven by a deep love for art, design, and storytelling.​
My work moves between art direction, creative consulting, and brand creation, always guided by the desire to shape ideas that feel both thoughtful and alive.
​
Rooted in culture and collaboration, my approach blends intuition, strategy, and craft. Whether developing a visual identity, curating a campaign, or producing a creative project, my goal is to build meaningful worlds that connect people and ideas.
​
With experience across brands, cultural institutions, and independent projects, I bring a holistic understanding of the creative process, from concept to execution. My path bridges disciplines, languages, and perspectives, reflecting a curiosity for how creativity translates across cultures.
​
At the heart of my work lies a simple belief:
creativity should carry intention, emotion, and care.
