PDC Mobility Plan Manager
Project management and collaborative geographic analysis webapp
- Project
Mobility plans are effective ways to reduce the carbon footprint and increase transportation satisfaction amongst members of large commuting communities. European campuses, spread over large areas, are perfect candidates for such plans. However, mobility management is complex, largely slowing plans use. I designed this webapp to dramatically accelerate and ease such projects, empowering students to make their campuses more livable and eco-responsible.
- Role(s)
- Project Manager, UX Designer, Coder
Our approach
A mobility plan is a methodology that analyses all commutes (students', teachers' and staff's alike), in order to deploy relevant actions that will help shifting commuting trends from individual cars to sustainable alternatives.
University residence representative
Elected representative
- Project
- Each year, French university residences elect a couple residents to represent them in regular councils with the decisionmakers. I was elected and attended several councils. I also wrote analyses of some decisions, and was a de facto contact point with the national internet service provider upon its contract renewal. It notably used some of my work in its official communication.
- Role(s)
- Titulaire
Our approach
I wanted to be as consultative as possible, and systematically sent questionnaires to my fellow residents, to decide as democratically as possible of the councils content.
I also made sure to be totally transparent by publishing every information regarding my mandate on a dedicated web space.

Aalto BEST Competition (AB?C)
Innovation competition
- Project
- The Aalto Helsinki University is the merger of three schools (Art & Design, Economics and Engineering). These campuses unfortunately were very distant. A competition was therefore launched by the national BEST association for the most innovative solution to the campuses disparity. We ranked second for Finland.
- Role(s)
- Designer, Presenter
Our approach
We envisioned the merger as the creation of a network of skills and knowledge. We regarded this idea as so foundational that it was worth making physical.
We proposed to transform the then-present huge engineering campus into a set of connected building nodes, each hosting courses for a specialty. This solution made it easy to keep high-level tools close to their users, while at the same time providing a structure for serendipitous encounters with students from different backgrounds but with skills close enough to create together.
Small buildings for enjoyable work, and close connexions to let creativity flow from interdisciplinary encounters.

Mapping Modernism
Interactive information visualization tool
- Project
- For the "Systems of Representation" course of the Helsinki MediaLab, we created an interactive information visualization tool for the Modern[ism] exhibition in the Design Museum of Helsinki.
- Role(s)
- Programming, Interaction design, Management
Our approach
I joined a team that had already been working on a concept for one term, and therefore couldn't influence its development.
However, I helped to refine the tangible interface, advised regarding optical technical matters and implemented all programming aspects (data format and parsing, graphical visualization, interactivity…) within three weeks.
Even though the timespan was extremely short for such a project, I was able to create quite a clean architecture. At the time of installation, the code was already adaptable to any kind of content.

Polytech'Move
Mobility plan
- Project
- The goal of a mobility plan is to optimize transportation for individuals in a given collectivity. The first part of it consists of assessing transportation habits of the targeted public. My team created a questionnaire, made it available for online answering, raised publical awareness about it and extracted data from the results.

DeskQuartz
Quartz Composer experiment
- Project
- I decided to make a Quartz composition (a dynamic graphical animation) that would reside on the user's desktop, providing him with vital information (IP, available services on local network…) about his computer when needed. This composition was also intended to offer a lot of different beautifully animated backgrounds.
