As an illustrator my background gives me a unique insight into fashion. After spending five years studying fine art in Paris I worked as a communication consultant for many leading fashion designers. In 2004 I moved to London to set up getconfused – a company which offers consultancy and creative solutions to clients from all around the world. I began producing illustrations a favour to friends in the fashion industry who needed them for lookbooks, magazines and websites. On the back of those I started to receive press interest and these days I create imagery for publications spanning both the independent and mainstream press. More recently I have also produced prints for wallpapers and ceramics. I find inspiration in a wide variety of places. Living between Paris and London I feel at ease with the visual landscapes of both cities. As art and fashion capitals, they are a byword for innovation, creativity and metropolitan edge. Rather than using sketchbooks I begin by experimenting with old-school processes such as painting, drawing and ceramics. I compose the final montages in photoshop. I like to mix several techniques but aim for restraint and minimalism in the finished work. I like the results achieved from combining these two approaches.
