Maëlle Barbotin

I’m a junior graphic designer with a strong interest in branding, editorial design, and print. Craft and hands-on experimentation remain an important part of my approach, as they allow me to stay connected to the material and the production process. Through screen printing, risography, and/ or bookbinding, I explore graphic design in a more direct and tangible way, while developing visual identities and communication systems that are both thoughtful and engaging.

My work often explores social and cultural subjects, with a focus on the impact design can have on the way people think, feel, and interact with the world around them. I’m particularly interested in combining conceptual thinking with strong visual narratives and tactile design approaches.

For my thesis, for example, I developed a multisensory project through a feminist perspective, using graphic design as both a communication tool and an immersive experience. I see this balance between strategy, visual storytelling, and material experimentation as the core of my practice.
