Discover My Journey in Design

After six years in digital agencies working with clients like Airbus, the French Government or Oxford, I spent several years collaborating directly with brands such as Maisons du Monde, Carrefour, and Pernod Ricard, before joining Disney for four years to design web and mobile experiences. This journey has shaped my career at the intersection of strategy, design, and user research, giving me a versatile perspective.

From France, based in Vancouver since Sept 2025.

After several trips to Canada, including Montreal, Toronto, the Rockies and Vancouver, I decided to enter a lottery to try an adventure abroad. And I got the Working Holiday Visa. I chose Vancouver because I truly fell in love with the city during my travels.


I've been working for over 13 years.

I hold a work-study Master's degree in Marketing and Communication. I started in digital agencies as a Project Manager, where design was part of my tasks to brief art directors, I prepared wireframes, sitemaps, etc. I gained managerial skills by being the direct client contact and managing different internal profiles: developers, creatives, etc. Fun fact: I was the happiness manager of one of my agencies.

In 2018, I launched my own company, first as a solo entrepreneur, then I grew it and changed legal status to create a more complex structure. I named it Bagheera and created its story (storytelling and positioning). Since then, I've worked directly with brands under my Freelance consultant status, from Pernod to the French government, through Carrefour and Maisons du Monde, to end up at Disneyland Paris. And today, Arc'teryx in Vancouver.

Arts

Art is my way of exploring the world and expressing emotions, through Modern Jazz dance, abstract painting, daily writing and the guitar.

My Tech Stack

I build with intention. Framer for fast, interactive web design. Figma and Adobe XD for clean interfaces. UserTesting & Adobe Analytics for data-driven design decisions. Each tool supports how I think, design.

Tech Logo

Figma

I use it to design my interfaces and collaborate with the design community. It's where I share my work, exchange insights, and build my prototypes seamlessly.

Adobe XD

I use it to structure my ideas from wireframe to prototype. It's my second go-to tool (alongside Figma) for wireframing, testing concepts, and collaborating in real time with clients or my team.

Framer

I use it to bring my website ideas to life without writing a single line of code. It's my creative playground where I craft interactive and responsive experiences quickly and flexibly.

Usertesting

I use it to gather user feedback on designs and concepts through surveys, moderated and unmoderated video tests to validate my ideas with real users.

Adobe Analytics

I use it to analyze website performance and consumption patterns, helping me understand user behavior and optimize experiences based on real data.

What's Your Stack?

Even if I don't know a tool, I learn it. I love discovering new technologies and adapt quickly to any design stack. Currently exploring AI tools to enhance ideation and streamline workflows.

From France, based in Vancouver since Sept 2025.

After several trips to Canada, including Montreal, Toronto, the Rockies and Vancouver, I decided to enter a lottery to try an adventure abroad. And I got the Working Holiday Visa. I chose Vancouver because I truly fell in love with the city during my travels.


I've been working for over 13 years.

I hold a work-study Master's degree in Marketing and Communication. I started in digital agencies as a Project Manager, where design was part of my tasks to brief art directors, I prepared wireframes, sitemaps, etc. I gained managerial skills by being the direct client contact and managing different internal profiles: developers, creatives, etc. Fun fact: I was the happiness manager of one of my agencies.

In 2018, I launched my own company, first as a solo entrepreneur, then I grew it and changed legal status to create a more complex structure. I named it Bagheera and created its story (storytelling and positioning). Since then, I've worked directly with brands under my Freelance consultant status, from Pernod to the French government, through Carrefour and Maisons du Monde, to end up at Disneyland Paris. And today, Arc'teryx in Vancouver.

Arts

Art is my way of exploring the world and expressing emotions, through Modern Jazz dance, abstract painting, daily writing and the guitar.

Music

Music plays a central role in my life. I listen to all kinds of music throughout the day, and I have volunteered in a concert hall.

Sports & Nature

Since the age of 5, horse riding has been a source of freedom. I find inspiration in nature whether through gardening or hiking.

HOME

I poured my creativity into my own house in France, imagining a new architectural flow and bringing it to life through renovation with my family. Since my departure, I've listed it on Airbnb.

Dog

I adopted my little dog Rio, a King Charles Spaniel. He's 5 years old and my best friend. I brought him along on this Vancouver adventure, and he's loving exploring this new city with me.
