About Valentine

UX/UI & Brand Designer with a tech background. Supported 20+ clients in 3 years

Graduated with a Master's in UX Design, I previously worked as a developer (Bachelor's from Epitech), so I know how to work closely with your tech teams, anticipate constraints, and deliver truly dev-ready designs. The result: less friction, fewer back-and-forths, and a product that launches faster (and costs less).

For **5 years**, I've been supporting startups, SMEs, and agencies on a wide range of projects: business apps, SaaS platforms, MVPs, showcase websites... What I enjoy is transforming a brief (sometimes vague) into a simple, emotional experience aligned with business objectives.

I see myself as a full-stack designer, comfortable across the entire spectrum: visual identity, user research, design system, dev-ready prototypes...

I've worked on 2 major AI projects in recent years, and I integrate AI tools into my process to speed up production time without sacrificing quality.

I thrive when I can:
- Challenge a brief and set a clear product direction
- Provide structure when everything is still unclear
- Keep business goals in sight
- Create differentiating experiences by leaving generic, soulless interfaces to AI

What I'm looking for in a project? Impact. Not necessarily a "mission-driven project" but a product that serves a purpose, that improves a life, a job, a moment. It doesn't need to be revolutionary, as long as it's well thought out.
