About me

How it all began

My business germinated from the realization that, as a graphic designer in the Valais (Switzerland), I could help other Swiss businesses combat the adverse effects of global warming.

Grab yourself a hot drink and let me tell you my story.

2017

A seed was planted

In 2017, amid my graphic design apprenticeship in Lausanne, "Blue Planet 2," presented by Sir David Attenborough, spotlighted the big challenges the marine world is currently facing due to human activity.

The programme evoked emotions of anger and sadness within me, prompting me to think how I could take action and prevent further damage from happening.

Food for thought

A few weeks later, Etapes, a French graphic design magazine, published an edition dedicated solely to sustainable graphic design.

This magazine revolutionised my whole professional mindset.

2019

A concept grows

After successfully completing my graphic design apprenticeship, I delved deeper into researching sustainable graphic design and how I could apply it to my next projects.

I consumed numerous podcasts, blog posts, and books about this interesting topic.

2023

An idea starts to germinate

After a succession of short term contracts after the Covid-19 lockdown, I embraced self-employment in early 2023.

2024

I deepen my roots

In 2024, I became a member of the FSE (Féderation Suisse des Entreprise), a Swiss association dedicated to promoting the circular economy nationwide.

The association serves as a platform for like-minded businesses striving for a greener future.

2025

Responsible communication becomes my focus

Since 2025, I’ve worked as a freelance graphic designer in Vouvry, Switzerland, specialising in responsible communication.

The day I realised that I could contribute to limiting global warming through my profession, revolutionised my entire mindset.

At the end of 2022, Xavier undertook a project demanding swift action and resourcefulness, involving coordination with various professionals for file delivery, meticulous attention to detail, and adherence to brand guidelines.

Throughout, he consistently displayed a positive attitude and strong organizational skills. I am grateful to know such a good designer.

Opaline commissioned Xavier to refresh all of our lemonade labels. He quickly understood our brand and delivered visuals that were contemporary, coherent, and aligned with our visual identity.

Working with him is enjoyable, efficient and very professional.

We strongly recommend him to any company looking for a creative and reliable graphic designer committed to sustainable graphic design.

Working with Xavier is a pleasure: he is quick to understand my briefs and deliver quality materials in line with corporate branding, sometimes even improving our corporate branding!

He knows how to interpret sometimes confusing requests and keeps his calm after multiple rounds of corrections. I appreciate his creative insights on how to challenge the status quo and stand out from competitors.

I would recommend him hands down to anyone looking for a creative mind to deliver designs.
