Compétences
UX design
I work with various methods and approaches, according to the project type — creation or revamping (user interviews, journey maps, personæs, information architecture). I design user experience, and i am interested in real world concerns around digital usage (context, user skills and role). On large projects, i'm able to work with profile such as UX researchers (Archimed, Mairie de Paris, Thales).
UI design
For user interfaces visual aspects, i create and use design systems, with strong knowledge on typography, color theory and ergonomy.
i can develop prototypes (Figma, Framer), create a draft with HTML/CSS/Js, or add motion design (AfterEffects, Lottie).
I can use 3D, code (Javascript, Processing) or maps to preview how a information will be displayed, or make visual experimentations.
Programming
I use languages such as HTML, CSS (w/ Bootstrap or Tailwind) and Javascript on a regular basis. On a daily basis, i use scripts on the command line for various tasks. I also use Python to create tools for a personal usage. I keep up to date with frameworks and ecosystems in the frontend world. I appreciate and look for sharing with developers and technical people on a project.
