THE STUDIO
Avant les Vacances is a design studio for visual and interactive affairs. Rooted in concepts and designs for printed matter, the studio’s focus has subsequently expanded into the digital sphere. I believe that good digital designs come from a deep understanding of the content and the technical structure. Therefore I engage at the intersection of these three fields. This helps me developing user centered concepts with a thriving & intuitive visual language based on latest technology. My services focus on visual identities, publications and digital products for clients from the fields of art & design, culture and education.
