Creation of a key visual for the 2026 Women’s French Cup, commissioned through Samba Digital on behalf of the French Football Federation, following OL Lyonnes victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the final.
The main challenge in creating this visual was to design a harmonious composition featuring the 26 OL Lyonnes players, while incorporating the coach’s portrait in the background. The overall design also had to comply with the official visual guidelines of the 2026 Coupe de France, with predominantly blue tones complemented by touches of white in selected areas.

I hold a Master’s degree in Digital Communication, with a specialization in sports and culture, earned from the University of Orléans (IAE) in 2023. Alongside my studies, I taught myself graphic design, developing my skills independently. This dual expertise in communication and design led me to launch my freelance career right after graduation.
My areas of expertise include custom web interface design, full visual identity creation, and the production of both print and digital assets for sports organizations (including federations, clubs, agencies, media outlets, and athletes…).
