About me

Picture of Alexandre Hureau

Highlights

🖊️ I've worked on projects for the web, apps, and publications. Amongst other things, I've helped launch a banking card, redesigned an e-commerce product page, improved a checkout experience, and built a design system almost from scratch.

🏁 My goal is to make the world more accessible to people. For the web, I always aim to meet at least the WCAG's AA requirements, and am always eager to present on the topic to onboard more people. In the real world, I am a big proponent of good urbanism, walkable cities, and sustainable practices.

Languages

📍 With Canadian & French nationalities, I've lived and worked in six different countries. I'm currently living in the Netherlands.

🌍 I fluently speak English, French, and Spanish.
