After 4 years of building complex marketplaces, SaaS, and internal tools on Bubble, I’ve realized one thing: most people still underestimate what no-code can actually do.
We’re way past "simple MVPs." I’m currently pushing the limits of Bubble to handle high-level logic and deep integrations that used to require a full dev team. We’re talking:
Complex Infrastructure: Peer-to-peer rentals and multi-sided marketplaces.
Secure Operations: Identity verification and robust payment systems.
AI-Driven UX: Plugging directly into OpenAI/Anthropic to build intelligent automation and predictive workflows.
The gap between "no-code" and "traditional software" isn't just shrinking—it’s disappearing. If you can map out the logic, you can build it.

Just built Vault AI without touching a line of boilerplate. If you haven't tried the new wave of AI-driven no-code tools yet, you’re missing out on some serious superpowers.
Love this!
Where being a Creative Dev actually makes sense👇
A client recently told me something:
“Everything is there… but something feels off.”
Sometimes the product is solid and the design is well-structured, but the experience just doesn't land. It feels flat and, above all, easy to forget.
That’s exactly where our role as Creative Devs shifts from technical to narrative. It’s not about "decorating"; it’s about fixing the flow.
For this project definitely one of my favorites from my first year as a freelancer we used Webflow, GSAP, and Spline to build what was missing: the pacing.
- Guiding the eye with transitions that feel natural.
- Connecting sections so the scroll doesn't feel like a series of jumps.
-Simplifying the complex through interactions that react to the user.
It’s amazing how the same message changes completely when you stop just "showing" and start "communicating" through motion.
After 12 months of going solo, these are the projects that remind me why I chose this path.
Designing for one of the rarest professions in the world: real-time stenotypists.
In France, the entire industry fits in a single room. Congrès 2000 is one of the last firms still doing it. 35 years of zero-error transcription for board meetings, conferences, legal proceedings.
But online? Page 3 of Google. Invisible.
Here's how I thought the rebuild:
• Strategy before design. SEO audit first, then sitemap.
• One landing page per persona : lawyers ≠ CSE secretaries ≠ HR directors.
• Brand refresh that signals premium without scaring 35 years of institutional clients
• A booking flow they simply didn't have
6 weeks.
From WordPress to Framer.
Love the 'Strategy before design' approach—it’s the only way to move the needle for institutional clients🔥 . Solving that 'Page 3' invisibility is a massive win, especially with how much the AI search landscape is shifting.
If you ever need a partner to handle the AEO/SEO...
