Volunteer digital project manager, I am currently working on the creation of the association's website Culture du Cœur. I was responsible for the functional and visual design of the project, from architecture to wireframes, including the design system, art direction, and mockups. I also collaborate with the developer to monitor progress, provide feedback, and prepare the front-end integration.

As part of my master's degree, I managed a complete digital project, leading a multidisciplinary team of 6 to 8 people comprising brand content, motion design, and development profiles. I was responsible for the overall project coordination, from competitive analysis and technological watch to the design of the site's architecture, wireframe, mockup, and design system.

I verified the quality of each stage, approved deliverables, and ensured the consistency of the entire project. I also served as the liaison between the team and the company to circulate information, manage feedback, and resolve any blocking issues. Developers were also part of the monitoring I coordinated, and I could occasionally participate in certain tasks when needed.

The project was presented at the Palais des Congrès in Bordeaux to the school, partner companies, and teachers. This experience allowed me to develop solid skills in project management, team coordination, communication, organization, and quality control.

For two years, as part of my master's degree, I designed and structured a large-scale digital project called Terratransmet from scratch, with a comprehensive approach combining strategy, user research, design, and operational structuring. The project was built as an in-depth report, involving extensive reflection, in-depth analytical work, and progressive production over time.

I conducted a global strategic analysis, defined positioning, market research, target segmentation, business model, risk analysis, as well as in-depth work on the legal structure and regulatory framework. I also handled the financial aspects of the project, building financial projections, budget assumptions, cost analysis, cash flow, break-even point, and multi-year projections, closely resembling a complete business plan.

In terms of design, I utilized various UX and strategic methods such as personas, empathy maps, jobs to be done, field studies, verbatim analysis, information architecture, wireframes, zoning, and mockups. The project was conceived for a large-scale website with numerous sub-sections to organize, prioritize, and ensure consistency within an overall experience.

I also structured the operational organization of the project, including the roadmap, schedule, resource needs, functional roles, and the final presentation at the Palais des Congrès in Bordeaux. The only part not completed was the development, but everything else was fully scoped, documented, and prepared with a very high level of rigor.
