Designer and researcher, I am a great CSS enthusiast and code all kinds of publications, both digital and printed. I build tools for multisupport editorial workflows, adapted to each project and facilitating collaboration. My work sits at the intersection of graphic design, academic research, and web standards, with a particular focus on CSS Print (or web-to-print).
I hold a PhD in ergonomics from the University of Paris 8, on how graphic designers appropriate web technologies for printed publishing. I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at HEAD Geneva within the WYSIWYG project. I co-founded Studio Variable with Adrien Payet.
