Hi, I'm Sandrine

Interface enthusiast, accessibility specialist and user advocate for over 20 years.

I believe that equitable access to information and opportunities matters.
Specialising in front-end development allows me to help people and enhance daily lives.

Currently as a freelancer, I assist companies integrating designs, developing pattern libraries, auditing user experiences and supporting teams.
Previously, I led for 5 years the front-end of Tourism New Zealand at DAN.

I'm always open to opportunities where my area of competence is applicable meaningfully.

tools

A non-exhaustive list of tools and systems I recently worked with:

  • Sass
  • NPM
  • Git
  • Github
  • Storybook
  • Figma
  • Miro
  • jQuery
  • Eleventy
  • Shopify
  • Webflow
  • Wordpress
  • Developer Tools

I have been exposed to several environments, systems and libraries in various languages.

Understanding of MVC and MVVM concepts allows me to get onboard quickly and work on UI components regardless of the framework used.

I've been quite impressed with how you've adapted to a median between our two styles of working considering how little explanation I was able to give you.
