My teaching style is hands-on, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals, whether you’re a complete beginner, a student preparing for creative studies, or someone looking to improve professionally.

I believe graphic design is more than just learning software — it’s about understanding how to think creatively, communicate visually, and develop strong workflows that make your work stand out.

Whether your goal is to build a portfolio, learn design software, improve your workflow, or simply become more confident in design, I adapt lessons to your pace and interests. I am supportive and will go the extra mile to encourage growth and development.

How to prepare for a media interview? What means should be used to fight his fear of the camera and improve his image? How to present yourself and your project in front of a camera?

How to present yourself and your project to the media?

Targeted content according to your project: Verbal and / or gestural communication; Seduction of the lens and / or microphone; Improvisation in front of a microphone and / or a camera; Voice & gaze; Games of one or two cameras; Chronic; Animation; Reportage; Direct radio & TV; Interview; Narration; Speech in all its forms (...)

In short, several objectives:
◾ Confront your shyness in front of the microphone / camera.
◾ Understand his speech and his diction.
◾ Taming the media environment (radio / tv).
◾ Familiarize yourself with your image and voice.
◾ Manage your speaking time.

Through exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentations, time management, etc.), role plays, interview simulations and familiarization with one's image and voice, the participants move at their own pace in a flexible educational framework.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Indeed, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, which, while taking care of its image, is based on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations ) reflecting the speaker's involvement in his speech. How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression?

Knowing how to speak, act and interact in public is almost a necessity today: your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages.

Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering confidence ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups ● overcoming shyness by assimilating 3 CRV axes (body-breathing-voice) ● better manage disagreement or conflict.

Mastered, the method allows:
• improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation.
• to work on their ease, leadership, charisma, creativity and personal development through scenarios.
* improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitches, intention, flow).
* get your message across through your image, while gaining improvisation skills and responsiveness.

Supplemented by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management), role plays, improvisations and simulations. With the key word: pronunciation, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. ( study 2020).

Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking, in renowned international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on pedagogy and careful methodology.

- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (example: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place in a very optimal way and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours!

Graphic design is one of those skills that looks simple from the outside but has real depth to it. Whether you're starting from zero or already know your way around the basics, these lessons are designed to help you build a solid foundation and develop the kind of creative thinking that actually gets you somewhere in this field.

I've been working as a graphic designer for 16 years, across branding studios, creative agencies, and product teams. I currently work as a Head of Graphic Design, and I've spent the last four years teaching and mentoring designers at all levels, including at Brainster Academy and Monday Academy. I bring that same industry-level perspective into every lesson.

What we cover depends on where you are and where you want to go, but typically includes design principles, typography, layout and grids, color theory, composition, vector illustration, and design for both print and digital. We work with industry-standard tools: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, taught in a way that fits into a real professional workflow, not just isolated exercises.

Every session is personalized. We work through real projects and practical tasks rather than just theory, so you're building skills you can actually use. You'll also get honest, constructive feedback throughout, the kind that helps you grow faster than going it alone.

These lessons are open to complete beginners, self-taught designers looking to fill gaps, students, and working professionals who want to level up. If you're serious about graphic design, I'd love to work with you.
