Art Direction Studio
Welcome to Le Brouillon [Broo-Yon]: That's French for 'the beautiful mess': a space where raw ideas grow into visionary and iconic worlds people never forget.
Over the past 14 years—including 9 in Cirque du Soleil’s Executive Creation Division—I’ve helped shape 350+ projects for Walt Disney, MGM, The Macallan, Live Nation, and more.
Today, I specialize in art direction and narrative design for live entertainment and immersive experiences, partnering with bold creators to turn ambitious ideas into emotionally resonant realities.
My role? To help visionaries turn bold ideas into unforgettable worlds and IP. Every project is unique. So is the creative system we build around it.
Here’s how I can help:
→ Creative & Art Direction: Translating abstract ideas into visual languages that audiences instantly connect with.
→ Narrative Design: Shaping story arcs that align vision, space, and emotion.
→ Strategic Development: Building the bridge between ambition and execution. From pitch decks to final creative blueprints.
With over $1.4B in revenue generated across experiential entertainment, I bring the insight, precision, and obsession with meaning needed to move both people, and projects, forward.

WHO WE ARE
Le Brouillon,
emotion-first creative studio built for live entertainment.
We are a creative studio driven by authentic human connection and moments that resonate.
In an industry stretched thin by ➔ urgency ➔ pressure ➔ deadlines ➔ budget ✗ emotion often disappears ✗. We’re here to bring it back. Agile, strategic, genuine, collaborative and fiercely human, we partner with visionary brands and creators to shape stories that move people.
We don’t just create. We provoke, we connect, and we make it meaningful.
Because emotion isn’t a side effect of live entertainment. It’s the whole point. It’s the reason people show up. It’s what they carry home. It’s what stays with them long after the lights go out.
WHAT WE DO
Beyond creative, we help you tell your story, create impact and build trust with your audience.
At Le Brouillon, we believe in creating something real. We dive into bold, sometimes chaotic ideas with you, using art and design to tell your story like no one else can.
Our mission? To empower you to move forward with confidence, knowing your vision makes a difference and yields succes and earns the trust of your audience.
Brand Collaboration
We help brands connect brand together. That means aligning visions, values, defining shared creative language, and setting up collaborations that work and feel effortless.
Pitch Deck
Whether you're pitching to investors or introducing a new concept to a partner, we build decks that do more than look good, they deliver a message, command attention, and inspire people to act.
Narrative Design
We craft stories that stick.
Our approach focuses on emotion, clarity, and flow, so your audience doesn’t just understand a story, they feel it.
Concept Design
A show, an experience, or something that doesn’t fit in a box yet ? We build creative concept from scratch and anchor it in story, emotion, and purpose. Something real. Something you can stand behind.
Art Direction
We take scattered references, rough inspiration and we translate it into a clear, cohesive and strong visual world. Everything starts making sense, and reflecting what you envisioned.
Creative Direction
We thrive in creative chaos. Too many ideas, no clear path. We step in to help you shape your vision, bring focus, and build a strong throughline that guides the entire project.
Notable Collaborations
During my time as an Art Director at Cirque du Soleil, I had the privilege of contributing to experiences for these global brands:
"Cecile is a poet of design. In 25 years of theater, themed entertainment, and brand experiences, working with Disney, Cirque du Soliel and Fortune 500 icons, my most successful projects have had a heart at the center of their design. Cecile is that kind of heart and she is a storyteller’s dream. [...] she took us deeper into the emotional environment we needed to create a transformative experience. A generous collaborator, she used physical tools and tactile strategies to help us connect the audience to the story, each other and themselves."
“Le Brouillon visual work is stunning and rich as well as a perfect fit to the concept. They also have a fiercely creative ability to bring innovative and fresh ideas to the table. Their energy and collaborative spirit were a major asset to the project's success.”
"I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Cécile on several high-profile creative projects. What a pleasure! I found her to be a highly talented visual art director and such a pleasant person who always wants to reinvent herself."
"It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with them.
Always very accurate, precise, engaged and fun to work with!"
