Hello,

I am Sylvain,

 HANDS-ON LEAD

DESIGN & CODE BACKGROUNDS

Double vocation.
Complementary expertise.
Bridging the gap between Design & Development.

QUICK WORD

Designer-Codeur is the result of a double vocation I have been developing all along my professional experience touching with creativity and implementation, offering both simultaneously.

I graduated in Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Layout Design and Web Design for which I learned HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I started my career as a Lead Graphic & Web Designer, being the Head of the web studio of a computer engineering company. My very first significant accomplishment was a 126-subpages web portal designed and developed for the #1 European & Caribbean Golf Network company. Small team, great challenge, short delays, intense efforts, and a great success. It was definitely worth it.

After 25 years, including 15 years of experience in Canada working with and for diverse companies such as WSP, CAE, Simfront Simulation Systems / Calian, l'Ordre des CPA du Québec, Loto Québec or Léger 360 among others, I am still active offering my best expertise in terms of Design and Development with the same enthusiasm, always driven by creativity, ergonomics and technology.

Standing available to discuss your projects, I wish you a great tour.

UX/UI WALKTHROUGH

Being involved in both design and coding, I now practice a simple and smart method to keep all stakeholders gathered all together as well as within their own teams, from the CTO to the client: the science-embedded All-in-One UX/UI Walkthrough. Such a method provides complete materials to every single one involved in the production process in terms of Design Strategy, UX Architecture, UI Design, implementation as well as the marketing strategy.

A B O U T 

As a result of a double vocation, we provide a double expertise either to finish a project, to re-brand one while still in development or to design one giving shape to a conceptual approach, filling the blank page.

Writing declarative codes to avoid heavy refactoring, providing specific CSS based on genuine design not to look like thousands of challengers, or defining the best flows, behaviors and hierarchy of information beyond trends, we also take the lead of talented teams in a hands on way.

Designers do design, developers develop and managers manage. At <d/> we are all these at once.
Everyone is talented. Experience makes one be so even more. A double expertise doubles it.
