Anne-Claire Schall
As a child, I’ve developed a true passion for simple objects, the useful kind, the ones that make us smile. I am 34 and live in Düsseldorf, Germany. I have worked for over 10 years in the packaging design and here is my journey...
I am a Product Designer Graduate of the Creapole ESDI school in Paris. I have learned to work on a precise, stylish and innovative design.

I started my career at L'Oréal (Paris) where I worked for 2 years as a product and color designer. Since the design studio had an in-house mock-up department and worked closely with the engineers I was able to understand different kinds of production processes as well as their technical constraints. As I worked closely with experts from the color workshop, I grew increasingly aware of the importance of color in its broadest sense, including both formulas and packaging. http://www.loreal.com http://www.areca.fr
Then I joined the Malherbe Design agency (Paris), and worked exclusively for Dior Parfums corner shops as a merchandising architect. Dior requires both expertise and elegance, it has taught me the importance of flawless details and high proactivity, giving me the chance to work with exceptional materials.

After this experience, I worked at Sephora (Paris) during 6 years on graphic, packaging and color designs for the house brand label within the marketing team. The cheerful yet demanding philosophy of the brand enabled me to work on bold and colorful projects.

A great experience in Australia gaves me the opportunity to discover a different and rewarding culture. Within Mirenesse (Melbourne), creativity and energy were present in all developments on which I worked.

I then worked for Douglas in Düsseldorf, Germany, as the Creative Director for the house brand label. I discovered a new culture and new responsibilities within a managerial position.
