In the late Eighties, I started working as a graphic designer for Rolling Stone Magazine France. In the meantime, "Le Nouvel Observateur" (a magazine) group put me in charge of art direction of their special supplements. Doing so, I started building skills for content organization and design. In the Nineties, I was hired by Textuel, a succesful corporate communications agency in Paris. There, I learned how to deal with large-scale content organization as well as design project management.
In the mid-nineties, I discovered the internet and started learning web design and web project management. In the late Nineties, I was fully involved in major web design projects for various communications agencies, and was also hired as a web-information instructor.
It's been almost a decade that I have worked for various internet projects in France and in Europe (in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Greece, and the UK).

I now work as Head of User Experience Department at Ogilvy Interactive Paris
