Barbara Vignaux (she/her)


Designer focusing on illustrated narratives
Send me a message to get in touch!

I am a visual and product designer: I give form to intentions by translating them into clear, structuring concepts that support the development of your projects. I help entrepreneurs, associations, and projects tell their story and move toward their next step, with clarity, creativity, and care.
This also means I am open to part-time opportunities as a designer. I believe in the strength of long-term stories. Alongside this, I'm developing my voice as an illustrator and artist, exploring more personal and expressive forms of visual storytelling.

Light in each of us

Personal research 

Oil pastel, A5

Ongoing research illustration. After the death of someone who had marked my childhood with joyful and luminous moments, I wanted to represent that special feeling of light in that person and in everyone else on this Earth, as long as we take the time to look at them. Light that will one day go out, but which today warms our loved ones and will always shine in our minds like beacons in the dark and sometimes stormy night.

This serie inspired me to create this book cover.

Paris-based designer with a Dutch connection, 
blending softness and impact in visuals for branding, 
product design, and artistic expression.
