Pauline Motel
After 5 years of studies in graphic design and two masters at L'Ecole de design Atlantique, Pauline Motel has always faced environmental and social issues in her projects, whether in France or abroad, especially in Brazil. It was during the coronavirus crisis that she realized the "Poulette" project, alone in her kitchen crushing her shells, collecting her raw material in her neighbourhood.
She now works as a graphic designer, specialising in packaging, currently in the cosmetics sector. In her spare time works with colour (what she prefers) through illustrations and paintings.
