“Good design is good business.”
At the crossroads of French elegance and Creole culture, my work embodies a balance of discipline, warmth, and identity.

Designed Between Cultures
Where Business Meets Design, and Culture Shapes Creativity
I was born in the French Caribbean and later moved to California to study at Chapman University. A journey that shaped both who I am and how I create.
Growing up between cultures taught me to see nuance, emotion, and detail in everything. That perspective lives in my work. My designs are elegant and minimalist, but never cold. They are intentional, personal, and deeply considered.
I don’t believe in generic solutions. I take the time to understand each client; their story, their ambition, their voice, and translate that into something refined and meaningful.
For me, design is not just about aesthetics. It’s about building trust, creating clarity, and making people feel understood.
If you’re looking for thoughtful design shaped by culture, strategy, and attention to detail — I’d love to connect.
MADFACE WHO AM I?
RECOGNIZE ME BY
My designs are identified by their elegant simplicity, minimalist touches, and subtle colors. Each piece's refinement and meticulous detail underscore its timeless appeal.
Mercedes-Benz Classic Center
Brand Experience & Visual Storytelling
I helped translate the Mercedes-Benz brand into a premium in-person experience by designing visual elements that reflect its luxury identity. From layout concepts to signage and merchandising displays, I ensured that every visual detail supported the brand's sleek, modern personality while guiding visitors intuitively through the space.
Consumer Journey Optimization
I analyzed the consumer flow within the center and proposed design adjustments to enhance engagement. This included strategic placement of digital screens, branded content, and touchpoints that encourage interaction, making sure the physical space supported both discovery and conversion goals.
Business Alignment & Strategic Insight
Beyond design, I worked on aligning creative concepts with business objectives. I contributed to improving customer dwell time, encouraging test drives, and reinforcing brand loyalty through a seamless and luxurious atmosphere, ultimately supporting Mercedes-Benz’s broader marketing and sales goals.
Thumbnails & Final Design
Absolute Prowess
Final Design
To reach the final design, I began by developing a series of thumbnail sketches exploring layout, hierarchy, and visual direction. These quick concepts helped spark conversation with the client and align on their vision early in the process. Through our feedback sessions, we narrowed down the strongest ideas, combining elements that felt most aligned with the Mercedes-Benz brand — minimal, bold, and premium. Once a direction was chosen, I refined the concept into a polished design that seamlessly blended elegance with strategy. The final result was a visually cohesive experience that not only reflected the brand’s identity but also served its business goals.
Tempest Poster
Create a compelling poster, I conducted thorough research on “The Tempest” play, including its themes, characters, and historical context. I also explored the target audience for the performance to understand their preferences and interests. This research allowed me to gain valuable insights and develop a deeper understanding of the play’s essence..
University Mascot
As a graphic designer, I was tasked with creating a mascot for Golding University from scratch, inspired solely a caterpillar pet, and producing a merchandise catalog that emphasizes the value of my work to potential clients.
