Practice仕事
Four areas of work that share the same principle: depth over speed, sense over slogan, careful editorial thinking applied to brand and image.
Brand identity.
Visual systems, naming, art direction. For companies, products and projects that want to be remembered rather than consumed. Selective work, fewer projects per year, deeper attention to each.
Editorial design.
Books, ZINEs, brand publications, long-form print. From concept and writing to typography and print direction. For publishers, authors, and brands that treat editorial as part of their identity.
Art direction & image.
Campaign direction, photography direction, packaging, print communication. Building a coherent visual world across touchpoints, season after season.
Innovation & R&D.
For brands launching something new, or projects that don't fit a category. When the brief is unclear and the path needs to be drawn before it can be executed. Fresh eyes welcome.
A Vosgien writes an investigation into matcha to explain everything about this hypertrendy green powder.

About紹介
French. Based in Fukuoka. I move between brand identity, editorial design, art direction, percussion, and the slow work of a book.
Originally trained in art and editorial, I work across sectors with one constant: depth and clarity over trend. Curious by nature, I'm drawn to hybrid projects, hospitality, cultural ventures, and ideas that don't fit a category yet. Fluent in French and English, conversational in Japanese.
