About me

I’ve always believed that everything is possible. Not as a cliché, but as a way of approaching work, people, and creativity. This mindset has guided me from the very beginning, from my early hybrid collaborations between Canada, Lebanon, and France, all the way to my current international practice as a Paris-based Graphic Designer and Art Director working across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the US.

My work lives at the intersection of branding, motion design, packaging, UI/UX, print craftsmanship, digital ecosystems, and full spatial experiences. I love building worlds. I love coherence, detail, and storytelling. And above all, I love turning ideas into identities that feel intentional and emotionally meaningful, the kind of brands that speak, breathe, and resonate.

Over the years, I’ve shaped visual identities for emerging startups, established institutions, cultural projects, and fast-growing companies. I’ve crafted packaging that lives on shelves, motion systems that move with elegance, and digital interfaces that guide users with clarity. I’ve designed restaurant façades in Lebanon, educational universes for children, event ecosystems for national congresses in France, and brand stories that reached hundreds of thousands of people online. Each project has taught me something different about collaboration, culture, and the power of design to elevate a vision.

My website, annagrenierdecardenal.fr, reflects the essence of my work: multidisciplinary, precise, human, and intentionally crafted. I approach every challenge with curiosity and ambition, always searching for the idea that ties everything together, the one that makes a brand not just beautiful, but alive.

I collaborate closely with teams, founders, architects, developers, musicians, and innovators, because I believe design is stronger when it’s shared. My role often extends beyond visuals: strategy, storytelling, systems thinking, experience design, motion direction, product refinement. I naturally take ownership, guide processes, and help brands find their voice across every touchpoint.

What keeps me moving is this conviction that possibilities are endless when you’re willing to think bigger, experiment, and trust the process. Creativity isn’t just a skill, it’s a mindset. One that pushes boundaries, opens doors, and turns ideas into reality.

I've collaborated with many designers, but none have matched the professionalism of Anna. After our first phone call, I was amazed to receive a presentation brief shortly afterward that perfectly captured everything we discussed - I was left speechless... I'm more than happy to have found such a professional designer that helped me work on my brand, logo design, video ad, portfolio, and more.
