BONJOUR!I am Cecile, a passionate thirty something creative director.
French from birth, Spanish by adoption, and and freshly arrived in the US under a O-1 visa, I am looking for a new creative adventure in the design world.
An all rounder, I have worked as a graphic, interior, product and event designer, but what I love the most is designing experiences, a challenge which requires all the skillsets above, as well as organiza-tion and management, imagination, concept development and last but not least, a deep understanding of the human condition.
I am looking for a position that would give me the opportunity to demonstrate my creativity, my ability to multi-task, my leadership and my organizational skills. If you believe your company needs someone with these attributes, I would love to hear from you!
In the meantime, here is my resume. And, should you have any questions about my work or wish to know more about a specific project, please reach out to me. I would be happy to talk further.
