Portrait

I studied business engineering at Solvay Brussels School and discovered the world of tech startups by helping entrepreneurs launch mobile apps at Solvay Entrepreneurs. Hungry for more, I moved to San Francisco to learn from the best.

I joined Narvar as their first in-house designer, and watched the company grow from 10 to 250+ employees. I then joined Mode to scale their product for enterprise customers. Later, I founded Resourceful, a platform improving recycling education, and spent time at Strapi leading design on their Cloud product and plugin ecosystem.

Today I'm based in Pau, France, designing and building Cryo App, a management tool for cryotherapy professionals. I design in Figma, code in TypeScript, and leverage AI to do it all faster.

Outside of work: I play guitar, restore an old farmhouse, and live as green as possible.
