Making paper came as a necessity.
I moved to Canada and, while working on a commission, realized I couldn’t source the paper I needed locally. The same materials I was used to working with in Europe simply weren’t available here. After struggling to find the right fit, I decided to make it myself.
That was the beginning of Papier June.
Who I am
French-born graphic designer with over 20 years of branding experience. Everything I make is guided by the feeling of holding something made with care and complete attention to detail.
My work is modern and restrained, grounded by handmade paper that brings texture and softness.
I’m not interested in trend-driven design. I’m more drawn to work that feels timeless, pieces that still feel like themselves years from now, not tied to a moment in time.
If you’re looking for something that doesn’t feel like what you’ve seen before in a wedding context, that’s exactly where my work begins. A Pinterest board of other people’s stationery can’t tell me your story.
I develop a visual language for each couple, shaped by who they are, their world, and what feels true to them.
The clients I work best with are kind, curious, and open to the process. When trust is there from the beginning, it shows in the work.

How I work
I create through intensity and immersion. When I’m in a project, I’m fully immersed, and that focus carries through into the work.
They don’t just receive stationery. They leave the process with something that feels entirely, unmistakably theirs.
I take on eight bespoke commissions per year, simply because each one requires the time and focus it deserves.
