Jean-Baptiste Epron

Visual identity and cockpit ergonomics for performance

Jean-Baptiste Epron holds a unique position in the nautical world: that of a designer specializing in the graphic identity and functional ergonomics of racing sailboats. His role goes beyond aesthetics; he works on the visual coherence of sponsorship projects and the operational layout of cockpits and living spaces for single-handed sailors.

His signature is based on a deep understanding of media and technical constraints. He is the architect behind the image of the largest offshore racing teams, ensuring optimal visibility for partners while respecting the aerodynamic and ergonomic work conditions of the sailor.
