Studio Alexandra Jolly

Who am I?

I am Alexandra, a self-taught product designer and front-end developer.

My interest in web design sparked in my teenage years, when I started creating websites related to my favourite games and activities.

In 2014, I moved to Bordeaux for my studies, pursuing a two-year degree in technology (DUT MMI), during which I collaborated on various projects with my classmates.

A noteworthy project was Prestapic, a pioneering service similar to Unsplash, addressing the difficulty of finding royalty-free images for design purposes.

At the same time we worked on Nameless, an anonymous chat platform that emerged from one of our university's hackathon. We later developed a mobile version in which users could specify their location radius to find conversation partners.

In 2016, I co-founded TidyCards with a classmate, an app to organise and format lists of links. Although many of my earlier projects are now discontinued, I keep refining and polishing this one on my spare time while delving into back-end development.

In October 2016 I joined Schoolab, a mission-driven company that helps its partners and clients to develop their activities in ways that promote diversity and positive social and environmental outcomes.

My role within the product team has evolved over the years at Schoolab. Initially a UI designer and front-end developer I became a product designer and accessibility referent within the SL Group.
