Ismahane Poussin is a multidisciplinary artist and/or designer based in Paris, France.

Often working across multiple mediums simultaneously, both traditional and digital, she adopts an exploratory artistic approach fueled by perpetual curiosity. She believes in the intersections between different domains and in experimenting with new processes. Her primary graphic inquiries revolve around the boundaries of various mediums and how to create within self-imposed constraints and rules of the game. Through her work, she seeks to provoke personal reflection and interpretation in the viewer.
A child of the internet, she was early fascinated by the naive and vibrant aesthetics of early computers. These images from the dawn of the digital age never leave her and serve as her primary source of inspiration.  

What she can do for you : books, posters, branding, animation, illustration, title design, a little bit of 3D and a lot of knitting on her hacked knitting machine for custom projects, exhibitions etc.
