A Graphic, Colorful, and Playful Universe
Charlotte Janvier's work draws inspiration from everyday life and small details, which she enjoys turning into something extraordinary through color and pattern. Used to collaborating with brands, Charlotte constantly seeks the right balance between her own universe and that of her clients, creating visual encounters that feel both coherent and sensitive.
On the occasion of the masterclass organized as part of our collaboration Épicerie à Stickers together with Klin d’Œil, we invited Charlotte to share her creative process and her approach to using stickers as tools for experimentation, distribution, and creation.
Testing, Touching, Adjusting: Stickers as a Creative Playground
When Charlotte starts developing new ideas, she begins by exploring and testing. She heads to the StickerApp website to compare materials and imagine different finishes.
The sample pack plays a central role in her creative process: seeing the finishes, feeling the materials and observing color or glitter effects helps her better project herself and refine her choices before printing.
Once her decisions are made, the online editor gives her great freedom — uploading designs, adjusting sizes and quantities, and testing without pressure. The ability to order very small batches allows her to experiment, refine and evolve her visuals. Stickers thus become a true artistic experimentation tool.

A Living, Accessible Object to Make Your Own
Charlotte has always enjoyed working with stickers, using them in sticker sheets, coloring designs, labels or graphic supports. For her, stickers bring a playful, simple and universal dimension that feels accessible to everyone.
Rather than creating packaging meant to be thrown away, she imagines living objects. On some products, such as her illustrated scarves, the sticker is an integral part of the experience — it can be peeled off, placed elsewhere and taken on a journey.
At illustration festivals, Charlotte observes how stickers allow everyone to leave with a piece of creation. At an affordable price, they make art more accessible and invite people to truly appropriate images in their everyday lives.

Stickers as a Gateway into Her Universe
Over the years, stickers have become a true communication tool for Charlotte. She uses them as business cards, informational supports or giveaways at professional trade shows.
At Maison & Objet, for example, she designed a sticker sheet as an alternative business card, with her contact details printed on the back. This project became the starting point for a brand collaboration, drawn to the playful and accessible nature of the format.
From mini stickers to wall stickers, including sticker sheets and roll labels, stickers offer Charlotte an endless creative playground to test ideas, take risks and share her universe beyond traditional formats.
For Charlotte Janvier, stickers are above all a gateway into her artistic world — a simple, living and immediate object that circulates, is shared, and invites everyone to discover — and make their own — her creative universe.
