About Vanessa

Brand & UX/UI Designer | Art Direction

For over 4 years, I've worked in startups, SaaS environments, agencies, and freelance projects. I've worked on very different projects, but with a clear common thread: trying to create understandable, effective digital products aimed at meeting client needs.

I'm involved in the entire creative process: UX thinking, wireframes, prototyping, interface design, visual identity, and art direction. My goal is to create coherent, aesthetic, and useful experiences, aligned with user needs and business objectives.

What interests me most about UX/UI design is starting from a need or problem and turning it into a simple, fluid, and logical experience. I enjoy designing interfaces that are not just "beautiful," but above all useful and designed for the people who use them. I also enjoy challenging myself, as well as challenging teams on technical constraints, deadlines, and design.

Accustomed to collaborating with product, marketing, and development teams, I appreciate dynamic environments where creativity, logic, and technical constraints must be balanced.

  • Levux
    UX/UI Designer | Brand Designer
    SOFTWARE PUBLISHING
    January 2026 - Today (7 months)
    Lyon, France
    Levux was designed to help freelancers frame their projects more clearly from the initial client discussions.

    The goal is not to add another management tool.
    The goal is to make the project more readable even before it begins.

    This project was a huge challenge, but above all an extremely rewarding experience.

    I had the opportunity to work on it from A to Z:
    - Creation of the name and strategy
    - Brand positioning
    - Global art direction
    - Design of the home page and presentation of features
    - Sales materials and LinkedIn content
    - Adaptation of the identity across all communication media

    But most importantly, behind this project, there was a real product reflection: designing a truly useful platform. Not just "pretty," but designed for users, with clear information hierarchy and an experience tailored to freelancers' needs.
