Café à Lyon App Development
Choosing Lyon for this project was not a random decision, but rather rooted in a distant souvenir, perhaps a postcard of what might have been, but never was. I chose calm, coffee-like colors such as shades of brown and cream, an elegant typography. Creating this app was a mix of writing code, compassing the design, and also with a spoonful of nostalgia and a mellow mood.
I worked with TypeScript, React, among other tools, such as Lummi for generating more than 25 images. I also created a flipping-card game in one of the sections, which you can see here.
This is also my final project of February, and what a way to end it! Choosing one of my favorite destinations along with a fascinating topic!

2025 was the year I jumped into the unknown.
My first year as a freelancer wasn’t just about shipping work.
It was about learning how to build from value, not hours.
I worked with 15+ clients and agencies, leading projects end-to-end.
I shifted from hourly work to value-based projects, building a brand rooted in trust.
Becoming a Webflow Certified Partner was part of that process
not as a badge, but as validation of a more structured and intentional way of working.
2025 was about laying the foundation.
2026 starts with more focus, more ambitious projects,
and a clear belief that value is the only currency that matters.
Limited spots open for 2026 projects.
