Behind ALTO27
Sébastien.
A view of the whole picture.
Communication · Web · Content · SEO
My background is in communication, spanning websites, content and online visibility. My role is to understand your needs, write a clear brief and turn ideas into materials that work for your business.
Depending on the project, I create the content or coordinate creative and technical partners. You have one point of contact for planning, discussions and overseeing production.
- 01 Clarify your goals
- 02 Give a clear direction
- 03 Coordinate production
BEHIND A DESIGN STUDY
A clear brief.
A direction you can see.
An intention becomes useful when it informs concrete decisions. The STRATE study shows how we would turn an initial question into a coherent communication system.
BRIEF EXTRACT · STRATE
- The need
- Give a renovation business a recognisable identity and explain how it works.
- The audience
- Homeowners and project owners who want to understand the process before committing.
- The point of contact
- A clear project folder, site signage and an initial conversation.
Create reference points
A mark, a grid and a numbering system carried across every material.
Check how it works
Read from a distance, find information and understand the next step.
Our perspective
Simplicity
is a choice.
We enjoy projects that combine considered design, a relevant message and practical results.
Understand
Listen, ask questions and identify what makes each business distinctive.
Imagine
Find the idea, the design and the tone that give your message its strength.
Bring to life
Move from vision to delivery with consistency, precision and care.
From your idea
to the first deliverables.
Whether you have a clear need or an idea still taking shape, we build the project around your business, your priorities and the materials you will actually use.
Define the scope
Who are you speaking to? What would you like to change? Our conversation helps clarify your goals, the content available and the scope of the project.
A clearer brief.
Give a clear direction
References, key messages and early visual ideas: a shared direction helps us make consistent choices and give your idea a tangible form.
A shared direction.

Getting started,
simply.
Do I need a detailed brief already?
You can start with a simple need: creating a website, clarifying your brand or presenting your services more clearly. A few words about your business and expectations are enough to begin the conversation.
Can we start with just one deliverable?
A website, a brand identity or a series of posts can be a starting point. The aim is to choose a useful first step and keep it consistent with future developments.
What should I prepare for an initial conversation?
Your current website or materials, a few references you like, your goals and any timing or budget constraints. Even if incomplete, these details help us define the project.
STUDIO PROJECTS
Explore our projects Creative worlds to explore.
Concept projects developed to illustrate a creative direction, from the brief to its applications. These examples explore possible approaches; they are not client commissions.
THREE NEW AREAS TO EXPLORE
Different worlds.
A considered direction.
Construction, botanical skincare and publishing: three studies exploring different constraints and expressions. Fictional brands, with a clear process and tangible applications.
STRATE
Construction & renovationSTRATE is a brand study for a fictional construction and renovation business. Its starting point is the precision of a building site, translated into a clear, practical identity that can work across different formats. From the symbol to project documents, each application follows the same principles of levels, connections and wayfinding.
SÈVE
Skincare & everyday livingSÈVE explores the identity of an imagined botanical skincare brand built around everyday rituals. The study connects naming, graphic design, packaging and product pages. Its visual direction is gentle yet distinctive, giving materials, typography and the quality of information as much attention as the imagery itself.
ORBITE
Publishing · Science & cultureORBITE is a concept for a science and culture publishing house. The starting point is to make people want to open a book before they even know its subject. A vivid identity, a numbered series and graphic compositions make big questions approachable without flattening the ideas behind them.
What drives us
Substance before effect.
Meaning before noise.
Brand identity, websites, SEO, content and communication: each discipline informs the others to build a coherent whole.
