About Stéphanie

Stéphanie Heude
Founder Charme graphic design

"My name is Stéphanie, I love practicing graphic design and I enjoy living in Manchester.
I grew up in the green Brittany, my mum taught me how to coordinate colours harmoniously, I actually like the contrast between them.
I was first attracted to photography and printed papers and I started studying print processes. But I had to be creative and quickly I rocked towards graphic design and I qualified in south of France.
I live in Manchester since 2000, it is my very favourite town.
I started Charme in 2004, I am currently setting up a CIC (Community Interest Company) to develop graphic design towards people.. this is a biggy. For fun, I design t-shirts with a friend and I look forward to show them soon."
