The French Ministry of Education needed national classroom data, collected by teachers on personal devices, between school and home, under no controlled conditions. I designed the full chain: physical capture forms, mobile OCR pipeline, web portal, analytics, and back office.

Physical forms co-designed with psychometricians: OCR zone sizing, QR placement, contrast ratios, upstream design decisions that determined downstream digital performance.

Mobile workflow: photograph each page → OCR reads QR → auto-identifies student → high-confidence responses auto-validated, low-confidence queued for manual review.

· 5× faster data collection: 3–4 hrs → 35–50 min

· 85%+ responses auto-validated

· SUS 81

· Deployed nationally across thousands of classrooms

With every branding project, I design and present 2–3 different options for my clients, sometimes even one is enough when the vision is crystal clear. The reason I show more? I like to push myself more creatively to explore beyond what's safe and normal. A client might think they know exactly what they want, but the moment I go beyond the safe choice, they're often surprised by how much they love the more creative direction. This was exactly the case working with BraveDuck+Robots, an experience design studio built around creativity, strategy and technology. The brief was clear, but pushing past the obvious unlocked something far more interesting. At the end of the day, we're here to serve our clients, but sometimes working with them means showing something they didn't know they needed.

I completely relate to this. There’s something really rewarding about pushing things beyond the brief.

A good designer can stay within the brief, but a strong creative director should be able to see what the brand could become and take the client along that journey.

I do the same...
