Trajectory

01

Inside The Interface

Since the Y2K bug

Trained in multimedia development, with a detour through architecture, I never picked a side between design, aesthetics and my appetite for technique and code. I navigate with a persistent taste for hybrid territories.

I held a few job titles before going independent: designer, graphic designer, video editor, front-end developer, art director, studio lead, IT director, business designer. I changed costume many times, but rarely subject.

From years of conceiving, framing and producing, you develop a fairly reliable nose for telling what stands up from what will cost a fortune, the useful meetings from the “good ideas” dressed up as revolutions.

02

Design or technique?

Wrong question

I love both, and the border is mostly useful to bad briefs. Between the pixel and the component, many projects lose their hold: a visual intention shaved down by development, an art direction floating on helium, information leaking between disciplines.

My role is to connect visual direction and technical feasibility from the start, so the interface keeps its level of craft without becoming a fantasy impossible to maintain.

03

The Demand Of The High End

Dress code optional

I work regularly for the worlds of luxury, beauty, events and culture, where attention to detail is an entry condition. That standard, once internalised, doesn't leave: the same approximation is no longer acceptable, and it yields a way of working that applies to any kind of project: align, reduce, balance, then start again.

My Toolbox

that isn't a chapel

I survived Flash and quite a few “legacy” technologies. Today I have my preferred stack, which may change tomorrow.

AI has become a full working partner. I follow agents, augmented workflows and new ways of prototyping very closely. With a lot of enthusiasm and caution. Modestly. Because there are already enough self-proclaimed experts discovering a tool on Tuesday and selling a method on Thursday.

I recently joined the Propulse Factory collective to bring my UI expertise. These topics feed rich discussions there around consulting, creation and augmented digital strategies.

I Also Teach

Training eyes, not prompt maniacs

Since 2007, I have been teaching in higher education. I speak with students about design, code, front-end, digital culture and strategy.

And, since AI, about a skill that has become almost subversive: slowing down to think before accelerating and producing.
