Engineering the aesthetic of complexity

By merging scientific rigor with design mastery, I help organizations transform complex visions into authoritative brand ecosystems built to scale and command lasting global presence.

  • I have earned the trust of global stakeholders through 15+ years of creative leadership in elite environments—from EPFL research labs to NASDAQ-listed MedTech.
    By combining PhD-level rigor with Swiss design precision, I manage high-stakes visual challenges where accuracy and aesthetic mastery are vital. My work translates complex innovation into tangible outcomes, including business growth, project notoriety, and top-tier scientific impact.

  • I architect Brand Blueprints that transform technical complexity into premium visual experiences. My hands-on mastery covers 360° visual identity, motion design, data visualization, and UX/UI. I deliver precision-engineered assets across every high-stakes touchpoint: from digital ecosystems to physical environments and strategic communications.

  • I partner with leaders who must translate specialized knowledge or sophisticated visions into market authority. While my core expertise lies in DeepTech, Science, and Health, my methodology is built for any sector where precision and storytelling are vital—including, Cultural Landmark projects, Sport, and Visionary Consumer brands, demanding Swiss-standard aesthetics to bridge the gap between a complex core and a global audience.

  • " There is no question that Jean-Baptiste is passionate, as he identifies very closely with his work and strives for the highest possible quality short of perfection. This willingness to reconcile his high standards with a pragmatic « better not perfect » attitude allows him to adapt to the moment and hit moving targets during times of great change.
