My first web project in 2020
2020/21 First professional gig: Designed Aqualogia's website, handling design, strategy, and development. In 2021, joined Vysion as Product Designer, enhancing skills on their app. Valuable experiences gained.
2022 After obtaining my Master's in UX/UI Design, I strengthened my skills by participating in various projects. I then chose to fully dedicate myself to my freelance career, providing customized design solutions to my clients ever since.
2023 I venture into the Web3 space, taking on several assignments within the Starknet ecosystem while maintaining involvement in SaaS application design. My interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain grows, leading me to freelance roles as a product designer and manager with Starknet ID and Quest.
How I became a product designer
Steering towards this profession became evident after completing my business school degree in 2019. I embarked on a self-taught journey, taking numerous online courses and benefiting from personalized coaching by industry professionals, including Romain Dao. In 2020, I decided to take a leap by leaving New Caledonia to further my knowledge with a Master's in UX/UI Design in Bordeaux. This decision allowed me to deepen my skills and immerse myself fully in the world of design. ✈️
