About
Why embellie
Embellie is French for a short break in bad weather, when the sun gets through for a moment.
That is the feeling I want each app to give. Something that used to be a hassle, like planning dinner or reading a parking sign, suddenly isn't.
I'm a UX designer, and Embellie Studio is my own small company. It's where I build the ideas I can't let go of, one at a time.
When I'm not building, I'm probably waiting for a wave. Now and then the studio makes images and prints too, just for fun.
