About Me


GREEN EYEZ DESIGN
The name GREEN EYEZ DESIGN is really what I've been looking for when setting up this agency as the mix of two of the most important issues of my work: Ecology (green) and Communication (eye). You will surely wonder if my eyes are green and indeed they are. But to me they symbolise more the perspective from which Im seeing the world as a human being first then as a graphic designer.
When talking about ecology I dont only mean nature or environment but also being responsible for people around whatever their culture, race or religion is. In that sense I have collaborated more with african artists and helped them get their product, traditional or modern, be more attractive, more professional, thus more competitive in the rest of the world.
In regard to that, I consider my work to be more than creating graphics or taking pictures but as the materialization of my concerns as to the consequences of communication on consumers or the effects products got on nature and even as to the materials we use to create these products. Thats why, like Africans who show skills getting the maximum out of the minimum materials, my motto is less is more. And because in a near future, people will be more demanding about products and the way they are presented to them, GREEN EYEZ DESIGN can already help you create your viewture.
