About me
Francesca Belleau
I’m a London-based creative with over 12 years of experience across design, technology and innovation. I bring ideas to life through immersive spaces, brand identities, film and digital products, with a love of craft and a meticulous eye for detail.
I spent five years shaping the creative output of Engage Works, a London creative technology agency, where I now sit on the board as an advisor on growth, innovation and creative leadership. Since then I’ve worked with The Smalls, a global film and content company, and with Asite, a leading data platform, where I built the product design system and brand, grew the design team from four to fourteen and worked on a joint venture with NEOM.
Today I collaborate with some of the world’s leading brands across content, immersive experiences and digital products. I also sit on the judging panel for The Design Awards in Digital and VR Design, and I’m passionate about building great teams and creating work that pairs exceptional design with real commercial impact.
