Welcome to Benoit Santiard’s website,
graphic designer settled in Paris
specialized in designing books, printed matter,
visual identities, websites and signages.
My practice is based on the idea
that content and context bring the form.
I give priority to dialogue with my clients
and collaborators in order to come up to
tailor-made solutions.
Teaching in an Architecture School
in Marne-la-Vallée (near Paris) and
an art School in Dijon allows me
to take a step back on my practice
and to question it at all times.
