About me
I am a product- and web designer who cares as much about how something feels to use as how it looks. Years on the front line of customer experience taught me to spot what is confusing before anyone else does. Now I get to fix it.
I design and build websites for small businesses, entrepreneurs and independent professionals, and I take on product design work for teams building apps and tools. The aim is always the same, interfaces that feel obvious rather than clever.
I work in French, English and German.

Beyond the screen
The short version of who you would actually be working with.
Born in Paris, five countries later: adapting fast to new contexts is basically my default setting.
Behind a camera
Photography taught me framing, light, and patience long before design did. It is still how I see the world first.
Somewhere new
Travel is my favourite kind of research: watching how people order food, buy tickets, and find their way in unfamiliar places.
Five countries deep
Living across five countries means I have been the confused new user more times than I can count. I design for her.
Hiring?
I am open to permanent roles as a Product Designer or UI/UX Designer alongside my client work.
