A former journalist then photographer & videographer, I am new to the UX/UI field, but not to the tech one. Open source, photo tech and pet tech, I am now ready for a new challenge as a UX/UI Designer!

Thanks to my previous experience, I did acquire skills in project management and interpersonal communication. My studies in journalism led me to Ireland, where I specialized in video and photography. Despite the challenging accent of the green land, my English is bilingual.

After following an intense bootcamp, I am now pursuing my career as a UX /UI Designer in the French Tech Industry.

Photography & video experience

 
 

PrestaShop

CSM & Open Source

I started my first step in the tech Industry at PrestaShop as a Video Project Manager. My role was to create all the videos from scratch, requiring me to understand the ecosystem and the technical details around the product and each release.

Meero

AI & Photography

I then joined Meero as an Image Specialist and Quality Lead Manager. A technical oriented position that did teach me about the relation between the client’s need and the product development and its limits.

Japhy

Pet Tech

A few years later, pet food company Japhy were building a new team to work on its image. I seized this opportunity to become their Video & Photography Designer.

 

Hobbies

 

Illustration

As a kid, my dream would have been to be a cartoon maker. However, after one year studying 3D Animation, I realized it wasn’t for me. However, I still enjoy spending time making illustrations, using classical tools or more recently, Procreate.

 
 

Film Photography

Every kid from the 90s remembers using a film camera. I only used digital as a professional and kept the practice of film photography as my main hobby. I scan all my negatives from home and edit them with photoshop. I plan to install my own lab soon to be more independent!

Equipment: Mamiya 7II, Fuji GA645, Voigtlander Bessa R2, Olympus MJU I, Olympus 35RC

 

Yup, this is me.

 

Travel

I got lucky enough to travel in a few countries since I was pretty young. Since then, I never stopped! I also lived in Ireland for 3 years and I loved every second of it.

 
 

rock climbing and outdoor sports

As I grew up in the mountains, I enjoy going outdoor and practising Rock climbing, hiking, via ferrata, cycling, etc…
