Who am I?
Hello, I’m Elisa, the creator behind The Papagaï, a studio specialized in personalized branding and graphic design. My passion? Creation, graphic design. Building a project from A to Z, watching it grow through my eyes and yours.
MY OBJECTIVE WITH YOU
Bringing to life the visual identity of your wild or dreamy projects, everywhere in France and abroad. From the logo to communication materials, from your brand to motion design, I am here for your creative project. I am also specialized in creating custom illustrations, suitable for both children and adults. A French expertise by a passionate graphic designer, freelancing for many years.
IN MY MIND
Naturally optimistic, with a touch of perfectionism, and above all, quite talkative, it’s rare to see me stay silent when I disagree with a decision. When I start a project, I invest myself 100%, not only in design. Communication is essential to better understand expectations, desires, and sometimes even to realize the inherent madness of creation. With degrees in graphic design and communication, I easily juggle between the two. I can create not only the visual identity of your project but also provide advice on communication, whether on social media or in real life. Quite handy, isn’t it!
MY ADVENTURES
Since 2020, I’ve been working as a freelancer. Initially a digital nomad aboard my van, I traveled the European roads for nearly two years. Later, I settled in Cape Town, South Africa, surrounded by other enthusiasts. Today, I’m based in Lille, working from home, alternating with weeks in Pau. Why? Since April 2023, I’ve dedicated part of my time to Rakonto Association, an organization with environmental and social goals that is deeply close to my heart. As a graphic designer and communication manager for Rakonto, my goal is a complete overhaul of the visual identity: communication on all fronts and practical support for their projects. Now that you know me better, instead of wondering if you need me specifically, you can send me a message, and we can discuss.
