Portrait of Sylvain Girard

Design engineer combining digital design, frontend implementation and practical AI workflows. At IGNITE, I design and build websites and tools for clients and the agency team. My freelance background in 3D and motion informs the visual craft and interaction detail I bring to digital work.
