Norman JARDINE
Sophie CELIS
Antoine produced a broad variety of excellent graphic material and work, including video and web projects, often under significant pressure. I really enjoyed our work together and benefited greatly from his skill and competence. As such, I would have no hesitation in recommending him for future projects.
Antoine worked for an important client of us; the European Commission. He worked in two different teams and did both design work as development. It turned out to be a great fit for both positions; the management was impressed by his skills and he fitted in the international environment easily. I wish you the best of luck with your next adventure Antoine!
During his time with us, Antoine delivered some fantastic creatives that were used to promote on the one hand our brand in external campaigns (both digital & print campaigns) and to visualize our promotions on the websites. He has a very creative mind and can deliver suitable visuals for almost any topic imaginable, while still adhering to general house-style rules.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS?

Some more details.

Here are a few more details about how I work, and about my creative process.

Can you tell us about your creative process
My creative process begins with listening. I always strive to gain a deep understanding of each client’s needs, goals, and vision by gathering as much information and feedback as possible throughout the project. For me, creativity thrives on exchange: dialogue, collaboration, and teamwork are essential to developing the best ideas and creating solutions that are both meaningful, original, and tailored to each project.
What is your approach to web design ?
In my approach to web design, user experience and design always go hand in hand. My goal is to create intuitive, engaging, and visually meaningful digital experiences that offer users an optimal and memorable journey. I place accessibility and optimization at the heart of my work, ensuring that every website is not only visually compelling but also efficient, inclusive, and easy to use.
What about your past experience
My experience spans both B2B and B2C sectors, giving me a broad understanding of the design and communication landscape. This diverse background has allowed me to develop a 360-degree approach across a wide range of print and digital media. With a versatile and multidisciplinary skill set, I can offer a flexible range of services while adapting to the specific needs, challenges, and goals of each project.
Can I see more case studies before booking?
For a deeper look into my work, feel free to explore more shots and samples on Behance and Dribbble. These platforms offer a broader overview of my creative process, design approach, and the variety of projects I’ve had the opportunity to work on.
Can you tell us more about yourself?
My interests extend far beyond design, with a strong curiosity for art and art history, drawing, symbolism, and the cultural sector. I’m also passionate about travel, which constantly opens new perspectives and deepens my understanding of different cultures and ways of thinking. Alongside these creative and cultural interests, sports play an important role in my life, bringing energy, balance, and inspiration to my everyday approach.
