Inspired by nature, cultures and people.
Viviane Foutrel, French born creative consultant and designer currently based in Barcelona, Spain. I am specializing in graphic design, art direction and strategy for social & environmental impact. I use a transdisciplinary approach to create and expand local & international brands.
Over the past eight years, I have gained a wealth of experience as a designer and in the commercial sector. I have worked with clients in fashion, hospitality, and sustainability while living in several countries including France, Australia, India, Guatemala, Colombia, and Spain.
I have also had the opportunity to co-design on the field with remote communities in India, Guatemala, and Colombia.
Whether you are a small business or a multinational, I would love to hear your current needs.
