Hervine is my first name, my artist's name... It's all me.
I'm from Brittany and Auvergne, which makes for a very creative mix: I can't stop thinking up crazy things at all hours of the day and night. At the same time, why would I want to stop?
With the user experience as my leitmotiv, I always start with the needs of each individual to best support you in your projects. My values start with respect and complementarity, which I serve through communication and organizational skills.
I love projects, I love your projects, and I can't wait to discuss them with you at a trade show, on the web or even by video!
My journey
For many artists, it's during childhood that the encounter with pencils takes shape and the passion is born. I was no exception to this famous ritual! Felts, brushes, hammers, needles... I love tinkering, exploring, experimenting and discovering!
High School & Design Studies

What inspires me
I'm inspired by everything and anything! I like to observe details, the fall of light, textures and materials... In the work of my fellow artists, in natural environments, by combining two elements that had nothing to do with each other... I constantly need to stimulate my eye through comics, walks, social networks, films, and animation.
« I've always wondered why everyone dresses in grey in winter. Since then, I've wanted to bring light into every little thing in everyday life, from the most positive to the most boring. The trick is to know which colors to use for which subject, and how to combine them, while keeping in mind the general environment, the light, the nuances, without it being too bright and explosive for the eyes… »
Once it all simmers down, let's get to work!
What I do
Having been in the board game business for over 8 years, I'm familiar with every stage of game creation, production and communication. Whether you need help with all or part of this process, I adapt to all your constraints, so you can let your ideas blossom!
Building the universe
Once the prototype is signed with the publisher, I build the game's universe: concept, narrative, components and maybe illustrations.
