Hello, I'm Jean! I am a graphic designer and developer. I love typography and graphic design, and I use code as my main tool in these fields. Over the last few years, I have become increasingly involved in machine learning and design tools. I wrote my Master's thesis on this topic, called »Pathfinder«.
I work as a freelance designer and developer. Currently, I work part-time with the wonderful team at Eps51 in Berlin, spending a few days a week working as a web developer.
And from time to time, I also teach other designers about the World Wide Web and programming. Currently I am working as a substitute professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Mainz.
For inquiries of any kind feel free to get in touch!
