About Nicolas

🎯 Facilitator in collective intelligence & Full Stack UX Designer

đź’ˇ I help teams structure their ideas and create concrete, useful, and actionable solutions.

After 5 years in Randstad's innovation unit (200+ workshops led), I now work as a freelancer, mainly in full remote, on transformation, product, and collaboration challenges.

đź§  My specialty: I master collaborative thinking processes to accelerate clarity, alignment, and decision-making. Instead of "debating in the moment," I help teams think better together, with structured, dynamic, and tailor-made methods.

🛠️ Additionally, I design interfaces and develop digital products — from showcase websites to secure progressive web apps, including functional MVPs with integrated front & back (React, Firebase).

Each skill can be mobilized independently, depending on the needs.

âś… I intervene on:

🎙️ Facilitation & Collective Intelligence
  • Work organization, innovation acculturation
  • Design Thinking, collaborative roadmaps, team cohesion

📱 UX Design & Product
  • User research, journeys & wireframes
  • Responsive UI design & design systems

👨‍💻 Web Development (React + Firebase)
  • MVPs, business micro-tools, or consumer apps
  • Authentication, database, security, dashboards...
  • Modern and high-performance websites (SEO, responsive, scalable)

🛎️ I adapt to your needs:
Each mission is different — I propose a daily rate adapted to whether it's for facilitation, UX, or development.

✨ Founder of the application what2do . today, I am used to leading projects from A to Z... but I can also intervene on a specific stage of your process.

📍 Available for one-off missions or regular support.
Shall we chat? 🙌
