Elyne Legarnisson ,

As a transdisciplinary designer, I strive to create experiences sparking curiosity, exploration and movement. My work sits at the intersection between present and future, humans and environments, storytelling and design thinking. I provok interactions between people and places, people and people. I tell stories through physical and virtual spaces, and anything in between.

Who I am // Curious human being coming from Reunion Island (Indian Ocean), I come with 7+ years experience in design and an M.Arch in Design for Performance and Interaction (with Distinction) from the Bartlett, UCL, London. Once upon a time, I was also a flight attendant and an event manager.

What I do // The two pillars of my work are experiential art and architectural design.
On one hand, I create experiential art exploring present and future interactions between humans and spaces through multi-sensory experiences. My media span from VR to performance, passing by immersive installations and projection mapping. My latest piece, (un)Balance, was exhibited at Ars Electronica festival, Austria.
This practice acts as a research playground feeding into my design work which I call spatial storytelling. I translate ideas, cultures and brands into spatial experiences, be it interiors, large scale permanent installations, environment graphics or videos. My latest role was lead designer at Acrylicize.

How I do it // My skill set includes artistic direction, design thinking, brand analyses, conceptualisation, storytelling, 2D+3D+4D design and visualisation, physical & digital prototyping, technical drawings, production management and client interaction.

Some people I have worked with or for // Acrylicize, Ars Electronica Festival, Burning Man, Gensler, HKS Architects, Interactive Architecture Lab, Microsoft, New movement dance company, NHS, Peldon Rose, Tableau Software, XTX.
