What can I help you with
Manage projects
Through my experiences as a project manager, I have learned skills than no school can teach well enough. How to talk to a client? How to lead them? How to explain your choices? How to make them think differently? How to disarm a conflict?
All these things need to be understood by practicing with real clients. My background described below will help you get why my experiences might be a strength for you.
Give me your best clients, I’m sure we can work together.
UI/UX Design
My journey as a UI/UX Designer started long ago when I tried to build my own website from scratch. It wasn’t easy when you know nothing about nothing. So after my master’s degree in digital project management, I wondered : how to build a good-looking website ? That’s when a light bulb went off in my mind, I should go to a school specialized in design.
So feel free to wander off in it to see if my work fits your needs and desires.
Building websites
Finally the most crucial part : building websites. I started to study it in my second year of college when I was asked to build websites with my bare hands knowing only the very basics thanks to the courses. But as time went by, I was learning more and more about how to think as a developer and saw my skills improve. For the last 1,5 year, I have been working in a website creation company using mainly WordPress because we want our clients to be able to modify the content freely without having to rely on anyone else but them.
So I am fully capable of building a website and would be pleased to lend you my skills.

My values
Why should you choose me?
1
I’m organised
Because of my experiences, I always do my best to be as organized as possible in order to always have a clear view of the horizon.
2
I’m a listener
The best way to satisfy a customer is to be a good listener and to stay ahead of expectations. I always try to do both to satisfy my clients.
3
I’m perceptive
The most difficult part of being a UX designer is to identify the needs of clients so as to design a website they dream of. My 1.5 years of experience has allowed me to see the essentials questions that must be asked in order to respond to their demands.
1
I’m demanding
I always do my best to provide a good mock-up and website. For this purpose, I think of every projects as mine which allows me to surpass myself. But unfortunately, sometimes I spend too much time trying to improve a project. As a result, I lose track of time and need to rush on other projects to make up for it.
2
I’m a junior
Even though I can work on projects, I’m still a junior so I definitely need someone who could help me improve my skills. I’m learning fast and won’t hesitate to ask questions (even obvious questions if it can enlighten me).
3
I’m skeptical
It is not because someone thinks of something as being “the best software, I’ve ever used” that I’ll take it for granted. I am a born researcher so I need to do my own research before trying anything new.
My values
Things not very entertaining but still
I’m a privacy addict
I’ll always promote open-source software first. I’m fully convinced that social media and close software are bad for privacy. User tracking and data resale are very important issues that need to be addressed. I’ll help with great pleasure anyone who feels the need to change their habits and adopt privacy-friendly software.
I’m a good-coffee lover/addict
I always start a day with a good coffee (from whole beans freshly grinded every day). If you’re wondering (and I’m sure you are), my favorite type of coffee is the undisputed Expresso.
I’m a Slytherin
If you have never tried to take the Pottermore test, you definitely should. My house was Slytherin 3 times in a row so I guess it’s my heart family.
“Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.” — Albus Dumbledore
I like working out
Nothing special to say about it. I like working out every day because my job doesn’t make me move anything but my 2 hands.
I’m a vegetarian
I want to have as little impact as possible on the environment, both in my eating habits and in the way I build websites.
