Biography

Julien Vallée studied graphic design at Université du Québec à Montréal. He then received a scholarship to go study at the École supérieure d'arts graphiques Penninghen in Paris, and did workshops with international designers like Stefan Sagmeister, among others. Since then, he won numerous prizes like the ADC Young Guns in New York, and his work has been published in various graphic design books and magazines like Tactile, Tangible and Fully Booked.

In his projects, he always tends to keep experimentation and playfulness in the foreground, and mixes computer images with tangible, simple materials like paper, mirrors, plastic or wood.
