HCI certification
This summer I attended Scott Klemmer’s (University of San Diego, California) Human-Computer Interaction Class on Coursera.org. Coursera is one of these new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) website, where students from around the world can attend classes given by prestigious lecturers and universities, for free.

Edwards app featured at Salesforce event in Lausanne
An iPad application I have had the chance to work on was recently featured during blue-infinity / Salesforce event in Lausanne. The conference was about Improving efficiency of Sales, Customer Service and Marketing, and took place at the Starling Hotel yesterday. As a mobile POS iPad application, this application supports sales associates (who are also trainers in this specific context) follow-up their portfolio, plan and report activities. I have worked quite a bit on this kind of applications lately, helping companies have a better and more reactive knowledge of their customers and offering them a better experience.
Conducting international User Observations with Skype
User observations are often key within the User Research phase. A privileged moment between the UX consultant and the system’s users, it gives a valuable insight on how users really use the system in a real-life context. On top of being an excellent base for building personas, scenarios and use cases, it is also a chance for the company to show that they care about users, and to build a relationship based on trust, which should later facilitate change acceptation.
Publication in ICT Magazine: Accessibility
As a Senior UX Consultant at blue-infinity, I had the chance to be published in ICT Magazine (November 2013 issue) with my contribution to a dossier about Web Accessibility. The dossier gave the context of accessibility (history, legal) and aimed to give wider opportunities with most recent trends and evolutions (like responsive web design for example.) I was in charge of the background article, on the legal and history context in France and Switzerland.
