๐ŸŽ“ Studies

I studied economics, management andย finance at University in Bordeaux, but dropped out after 2 years.

I then started playing around with Photoshop. Seeing how much fun I was having, I decided to become a Graphic Designer.

I attended a 1-year Web Design course at the AMTV school in Bordeaux.

All my web knowledge regarding HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, WordPress, React, Rails and Laravel, has been acquired on the go.

๐ŸŽจ CSS

My primary skill is CSS.

CSS 2 book cover I discovered it during an accessibility course in 2007. The teacher was advocating for the separation of HTML and CSS, and showcased a fantastic website that ended up changing my life: CSS Zen Garden.

I proceeded to buy the book โ€œCSS 2: Pratique du design webโ€ by Raphaรซl Goetter. It set the foundations of my frontend journey.
