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 books a space for memory, connection and wonder.
Mickaël and John co-founded this project with a clear and accessible idea: to offer real, personalized, illustrated stories... but above all, meaningful stories.
They don't sell books. They tell your stories.
John, visual and technological architect
CTO & Artistic Director
John is the visual architect for Conte de faits. As CTO, he oversees the brand's technical infrastructure and digital development. He imagined the website, its UX/UI design and functionalities, and continues to work closely with developers to guarantee security, fluidity and optimal user experience.
Demanding artistic direction
But John is also the studio's art director. He designs the books' graphic universe, builds their layouts, adjusts the illustration styles and prepares each file precisely for printing. His work spans several 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 with accuracy.
Complete mastery of tools
John handles the constraints of printing, the subtleties of Figma, and the integration of AI-generated illustrations with ease. All this, without ever losing sight of the essential: high aesthetic standards at the service of the story.
A well-thought-out "wow" effect
His objective is clear: to make each project a book object as beautiful as it is meaningful. On opening, he wants to provoke an immediate "wow" reaction. And that, behind this apparent simplicity, lies a meticulous, creative and profoundly human work of art.
Mickaël, narrative conductor
CEO & Editorial Director
Mickaël is the project's narrative orchestra conductor. As CEO, he defines the overall direction of Conte de faits, coordinates the teams, supervises editorial production and charts the strategic course.
Total commitment to content
And yet, he stays as close as possible to the content. Every story passes through his hands, every word weighed, every visual validated, in keeping with a universe that is both coherent and sensitive.
His role is twofold: to guarantee the narrative and emotional quality of each work, while maintaining an overall vision aligned with the project's human, educational and aesthetic values.
A vision rooted in rigor
At the same time, Mickaël is also in charge of administrative management. Working directly with our DPO, he ensures that personal data, production deadlines and contractual commitments are respected.
On a daily basis, he organizes, adjusts, anticipates, reassures... so that each cog runs smoothly. But always with a soul.
A quest for the right emotion
What guides him? The desire to create a fair and moving final object, capable of touching both the child who reads it and the adult who offers it.
Who is Conte de Faits for?
Our target is broad, because so is life.
To young parents
who want to create a memory from birth
To solo moms and dads
who want to put words to a daily life that's not always easy
To grandparents
who want to tell the story of a defining moment in their history
To brothers and sisters
cousins, friends, who want to offer something other than an impersonal object
