“Learning and improving never stops, and it can feel like you’ve reached a key point in your career, whether in terms of experience or the quality of your work, but this feeling is fleeting,” says Anaïs Rallo.

For the French graphic designer and illustrator, a determination to push the boundaries of her practice has seen her turn her hand to posters, album covers, murals, logos and more over the years. Inspired by nature, music and, more specifically, Japanese prints and the psychedelic imagery of the 70s, there’s a dreamlike quality that infuses much of her work.

While Rallo always knew she wanted to pursue design professionally, her choice of graphic design was initially more a question of practicality. “I knew there wouldn’t be any math involved, unlike product or space design,” she laughs.
