About

A single, experienced contact for your project.

I’m a French-born web consultant, settled in the UK and fully bilingual. For almost twenty years I’ve specialised in open-source web technologies, working with multinationals, charities, sports federations and government bodies.

I stay on the front line with my clients: I listen first, recommend the solution that truly fits, and see it through to launch and beyond.

I place particular importance on the success of every project, to build a lasting relationship based on trust.
