Marie Houssin

Marie Houssin

Après avoir terminé mes études d’art, je me suis naturellement orientée vers le digital. Dans le cadre de mes différentes expériences, j’ai rapidement compris que le volet esthétique et visuel des interfaces n’avait de sens que s’il était accompagné d’un réel travail sur l’expérience utilisateur. Dès lors, j’ai décidé d’ajouter à mes compétences d’UI designer et de directrice artistique, celle d’UX designer.
Par la suite, je me suis formée aux réflexions et démarches de design responsable avec un nouvel objectif : soutenir et accompagner les clients dans leur transition vers des interfaces plus éco-conçues, inclusives et accessibles à toustes.

Scott Southworth

After studying poetry and astrophysics at college, he belatedly realized that you can, in fact, get paid to develop software. His programming adventures have included industrial manufacturing and distribution (books and fridges with lasers, scales and RFID), digital signage, touch-screen kiosks, video games, data visualization and healthcare integration. A senior developer at HCA, he is currently focused on Elixir, a language from the future that is destined to create Skynet.
