UX ∞ UI
I'm one of those who think a beautiful interface is part of a good user experience. But before coloring pixels everywhere, I start with the understanding of the user needs.
Prototyping
Yes, there's a prototype tab in Figma and yes, it's awesome. But sometimes it's simply not enough. So, as a former developer, I use my coding skills to give life to my ideas.
Code
In a past life, I was a developer. My background helps me better understand limitations developers can encounter during implementation and facilitates handoffs.

What I do on the product
As the lead designer, I work with the product owner and the amazing dev team on the upcoming features and on the rework of the old ones.
I often start with basic wireframes on paper and finish with pixel perfect designs in Figma. I prototype complex interactions using HTML/CSS/JS in CodePen when I want to fully test the user experience ahead of the development phase. As a former frontend developer, I regularly put the final “polish” with the dev team 🤓
Likewise, I bootstrapped the Tuleap design system called TLP now maintained by the whole team.
What I also do
Beside my work on the product itself, I often help the marketing team on the website and marketing materials (rollups, white papers, goodies…). I also maintain the Tuleap brand guidelines and refreshed the logo.

Rifflicks
2014 → 2016
Product Branding Engineering
Project
Rifflicks was one of my side projects. I'm a guitar player 🤘 and spend a huge part of my spare time learning new stuff. I had the idea in 2014 when I was watching guitar tutorial videos on YouTube and was bored having to skip all the “Hey, I'm a guitar player and I will teach you how to blah blah…”.
Here's the first Medium article about Rifflicks if you wan't to read more about it.
Role
I did the branding, designed and coded the entire platform. I took the opportunity of this project to learn a new frontend framework and also many things on the launch phase of a product.
Glean
2013
UI Icon
Project
Glean was an iOS and Windows Phone game released in 2013 by Loon Apps. You had to draw a path with your finger from the starting point and try to collect all the objects spread in the 160 colorful mazes, accross 8 different worlds. Wanna see more?
Role
The goal was to design a simple game visually. I started to design the “in game” screen based on a working prototype. This first step helped me to defined the global atmosphere of the game. Then, I designed others screen following this simple “flat” style.
For the game icon, I included the four aspects of the game: a starting point, a move, the objects to catch and a wall.

Role
