Célie Cadieux portrait by Nathan Ducamin
 

Hey there! I'm Célie.

I'm a freelance Art Director and Digital Artist. I design singular posters and visual content for branding and advertising.

Based in Paris, I collaborate with international filmmakers, distributors, agencies and brands. My work strives to touch people and to present new and exciting viewpoints. One could describe it as an ongoing exploration of common fictional representations. I love getting to the core of a story to encapsulate its unique vibe in an image that can be understood at a glance and appreciated even more when looked at up close. My eclectic style fits uniquely each project I design for. I work from concept to craft, delivering high-quality visual solutions.

My posters are a part of The Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, as well as the Berlin Kulturforum collections.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me reading about art, design or society, experimenting with 3D, or hunting for vintage treasures.

I'm open to job opportunities and commissions worldwide.

Extra activities

I've been teaching Digital Culture at Sciences Po Paris once a year since 2018. This course examines with distance and curiosity the political, economic, social and cultural transformations that digital technology exerts on our societies. I've also been invited as a recurrent guest lecturer at École Estienne in Paris and Eugénie Cotton in Montreuil since 2021.

Background check

I received both an Advanced Technician Diploma in Graphic Design and a Master of Communication Strategy from École Estienne, followed by a Master in Marketing, Branding and Advertising from La Sorbonne CELSA. I worked in advertising agencies both in France and the United States before opening my own independent design practice in 2019.
