Summary

As a consultant, I help companies define their digital strategy, from the blank page to the actual concept. I work essentially as a facilitator, focusing on making things easy, especially when they are very complex.
I also design, specify, occasionally develop and test. And provide handkerchiefs.

As a science journalist/podcaster, the easiest way to have an idea of what I do is to have a look at my weekly science audio podcast (in French) www.podcastscience.fm

Specialties

WEB: Project Management, User Experience Design, Human/Machine Interface, Intranet, Web & Enterprise Content Management Systems, Social media JOURNALISM: Science Writing/Communication/Popularization. I believe that any concept can be understood by almost everybody. It's usually just a matter of finding the proper metaphor.
