Valentine Dardel

As Artistic Director at Maison Créative, I design the entire magazine layout, collaborate with journalists to highlight emerging trends, and create engaging stories and shopping moodboards. My role also includes photo editing and AI generation of illustrations and photography. I skillfully use typography, colors, and layout to craft cohesive, visually striking pages. I excel at meeting tight deadlines, multitasking efficiently, and maintaining strong editorial branding. Additionally, I create visual content for our social media including photo and video, ensuring a consistent and inspiring brand presence.

As a freelance Graphic Designer and Illustrator for Pierre Frey, I designed press releases and developed catalog layouts. My work included both digital and traditional illustrations, along with curating visuals to ensure a cohesive and visually appealing brand presentation.

As a Freelance Visual Artist, I have successfully collaborated with over 20 international clients, delivering high-quality creative projects across various domains. I undertook a 365-day project, creating a unique design every day for a year, which honed my skills and showcased my versatility. I've mastered over 10 image and video creation software tools, enabling me to produce diverse and innovative visual content. I have built and nurtured a vibrant community of 15K around my work within a year, providing artistic direction and managing creative projects from concept to completion. Additionally, I offer mentorship and have developed online courses on Skillshare and Youtube, sharing my expertise with a broader audience. My portfolio includes a wide range of projects, such as album cover design, textile print design, packaging, branding, and interior design. Each project reflects my dedication to combining creativity with strategic vision, resulting in compelling and impactful designs.
