Hello There

A designer
with a point
of view

I'm Margaux, a creative director and brand strategist based in Marseille, France. For the past decade I've helped photographers, planners, florists, and luxury creatives build brands that attract the clients they actually want to work with.

My work lives at the intersection of art and strategy. It's editorial, considered, and rooted in research. Beautiful is the baseline. Intentional is the goal.

Margaux

My path into design wasn't linear. I studied literature at the Sorbonne, spent three years art directing for a small French fashion house, and then found myself quietly obsessed with the way a brand could make someone feel before a single word was exchanged. That tension between narrative and visual language became the thread running through everything I've made since.

In 2018 I launched Margaux Studio out of a sunlit apartment overlooking the Old Port. What started as a one-woman operation serving local florists and wedding photographers has grown into a small, intentional studio serving creatives across Europe and North America. The clients have changed. The commitment hasn't.

I believe brands should feel like places. Walking through them should feel as considered as walking into a well-designed hotel, a favorite bookshop, a perfumery that's been perfecting its craft for a century. Every detail matters, because every detail is speaking.

When I'm not at the desk you'll find me combing flea markets for vintage typography references, reading on a balcony somewhere, or driving out to a village in the Luberon with a camera and no particular plan.

What I Believe

Guiding
principles

01

Strategy First

Beautiful design without strategy is decoration. Every visual choice should be rooted in who you serve and what you stand for.

02

Intentional Detail

The space between the letters matters as much as the letters themselves. Restraint is a craft, not an accident.

03

Slow Process

Great work cannot be rushed. I take fewer projects each year so that the ones I take receive the attention they deserve.

04

True Partnership

You know your business. I know brand. The best work happens when those perspectives meet in the middle with mutual trust.

“The best brands don't shout. They linger. They're the ones you remember on the drive home, and the ones you come back to long after the first impression has faded.”
