Session
Storytelling, playfulness and experimentation
The way we see and feel things is always closely linked to our own personal life experience.
Whether you're looking at a design piece or listening to a friend talking, what you perseve and remember is depending on what you have seen and felt up to now in your life. No one will interpret it the exact same way you do.
When it comes to client's needs, you use all your life experience to communicate as best as possible what you think is right for this project.
And there is always more than one solution that can be considered the best one.
Julien's process is about trying new things and experimenting new ways of interpreting a project.
In this session, he will share the process of his work and the professional philosophy he tries to implement on a daily basis as an artist.
