IH.SM turns 65, from the Marine Station to the blue economy
From December 2025 to December 2026, the Fisheries and Marine Science Institute celebrates 65 years since the Toliara Marine Station was founded. The highlight: Ocean Week and the international symposium "From ocean science to the blue economy: building the sustainable transition", from 3 to 5 June 2026. I designed the anniversary's visual identity: the 65th anniversary logo, the roll-up banner and the flag banners.

Holiday comics workshop: children on stage
During the holidays, a group of children makes up its own comic: finding the story, breaking down the page, drawing, writing the speech bubbles. The workshop ends on stage, where each team presents its page to the audience, microphone in hand.

Atelier sur mesureTeam buildingDesign and facilitation
Creative team building workshop
A table, a long roll of paper, brushes and paint. The group paints one fresco, each person their own part, and has to agree so the whole thing holds together. Nobody needs to know how to draw: drawing is used here to talk to each other.

What if your ideas were simple enough for an eight year old to explain them?

What if your message actually changed behaviour?

Climate, oceans, biodiversity, food, science: the most complex subjects become stories and illustrations that speak to everyone. Because changing the world starts with understanding it better. Let us make your message reachable for all.

We protect what we understand.
