A team at the heart of the project
Behind Conte de faits are two men with different backgrounds, but united by the same intention: to make the book a space of memory, connection and wonder.
Mickaël and John co-founded this project with a clear and accessible idea: to offer true, personalized, illustrated stories... but above all, meaningful ones.
They don't sell books. They tell your stories.

John, Visual and Technology Architect
CTO & Artistic Director
John is the visual architect of Conte de faits. As CTO, he oversees the brand's entire technical infrastructure and digital development. He designed the website, its UX/UI design, and its features, and continues to collaborate closely with the developers to ensure security, fluidity, and an optimal user experience.
Demanding artistic direction
But John is also the studio's art director. He designs the graphic universe of the books, builds their layouts, adjusts the illustration styles, and precisely prepares each file for printing. His work spans multiple formats at once and aims to ensure perfect visual consistency, page after page.
Each image must respect the story, translate the descriptions, and convey the emotion accurately.
Complete mastery of the tools
John easily navigates the constraints of printing, the intricacies of Figma, and the integration of AI-generated illustrations. All this without ever losing sight of the essential: a strong aesthetic requirement, in the service of the story.
A thoughtful “wow” effect
His goal is clear: to make each project a book-object as beautiful as it is meaningful. When you open it, he wants to provoke an immediate reaction: “wow.” And behind this apparent simplicity, there is hidden meticulous, creative, and deeply human work.

Mickaël, narrative conductor
CEO & Editorial Director
Mickaël is the project's narrative conductor. As CEO, he defines the overall direction of Conte de faits, coordinates the teams, oversees editorial production, and charts the strategic course.
Full engagement in the content
Yet he remains as close as possible to the content. Each story passes through his hands, each word is weighed, each visual validated, respecting a universe that is both coherent and sensitive.
Its role is deployed on two levels: guaranteeing the narrative and emotional quality of each work, while maintaining an overall vision aligned with the human, educational and aesthetic values of the project.
A vision rooted in rigor
At the same time, Mickaël also handles administrative management. Working directly with our DPO, he ensures compliance with personal data, production deadlines, and contractual commitments.
On a daily basis, he organizes, adjusts, anticipates, reassures... so that each cog functions smoothly. But always with a soul.
A quest for the right emotion
What guides him? The desire to create a final object that is both accurate and moving, capable of touching both the child who reads it and the adult who gives it.
Who is Conte de Faits aimed at?
