Editorial Designer | Educational, Nonprofit & Youth-Focused Projects

I design editorial and educational content that transforms complex information into clear, engaging, and meaningful visual experiences. My work spans educational publishing, nonprofit communications, youth-focused materials, and long-form editorial design. I’m especially drawn to projects that combine clarity, structure, and human-centered communication. Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide range of materials, including: • Reports and publication layouts • Educational books and workbooks • Children’s books and illustrated series • Emotional regulation and mental health tools • Journals, guides, and printable resources What connects these projects is the need to communicate complex ideas in a way that feels accessible, thoughtful, and visually engaging. My approach • I combine strong editorial structure with creative visual thinking • I design layouts that prioritize clarity, readability, and flow • I create visuals tailored to the tone and audience of each project • I pay close attention to emotional tone and communication sensitivity • I collaborate thoughtfully, with a focus on coherence, purpose, and quality I’m particularly interested in projects related to education, wellbeing, social impact, youth, psychology, and meaningful communication. Originally from Quebec (Canada), now based in Quito (Ecuador), I work fluently in English, French, and Spanish, and collaborate with clients worldwide.
