Creative Director

About


Bonjour! I’m Sébastien,

a French Creative Director & polyglot Copywriter at DAVID New York.

I speak English with a French accent, Spanish with a Peruvian accent, and a bit of Italian with a Spanish accent. But I can write without an accent. Although I’ve worked in Peru, France, Italy, and Spain, I promise my career choices were never influenced by gastronomy.

Thanks for stopping by and if you enjoyed what you saw, feel free to contact me in any of the aforementioned languages!
