About me
Intro
Designer de produits, UX/UI et graphiste depuis 8 ans, je suis passionné par le design et l'impact social. J'ai évolué au sein d'un incubateur où j’ai accompagné plusieurs petites entreprises B2B et e-commerce, souvent sur des projets naissants. J’ai également eu la chance de co-fonder une startup dans l'activisme actionnarial, où j'ai dirigé l'équipe pour lancer une application mobile développée avec React Native.
