Timeline
Designed in 2022, live and progressively evolving toward ULK v2 integration.
The ENT (Environnement Numérique de Travail) redesign unifies several digital services at Université de Lille into a single, coherent portal, bringing together the institutional intranet for students and staff, internal applications, and useful third-party tools into one accessible entry point. The project marked one of the first practical applications of what would become the ULK design system, including its early color theme logic and consistency rules.
Context & role
I designed the mockups in Adobe XD, balancing several distinct user profiles within the same interface: students, teachers, and administrative staff, each with different needs and levels of digital comfort. The layout was built mobile-first, and a feedback loop with the development team helped refine practical token use and grid structure along the way.
Key features
Personalised homepage with dark and light mode
To-do widget, well received for its clarity and usefulness
Favourites for quick access to tools and platforms
Moodle integration for course access

Thematic pages by audience type or need (in progress)
Design & development
This was the first project to test ULK's early color tokens in a real production context. The design process focused on simplicity, clarity, and a degree of personalisation for each user profile. Full accessibility compliance was not yet in place at this stage, but early considerations around contrast, structure, and theme switching were already part of the work.
Early visual feedback validated the practical use of ULK-based layouts in a complex, multi-audience platform, informing how the design system would later evolve.
Status
Live and evolving. Colour and component design are due to be migrated to ULK V2, with accessibility improvements (structure, screen reader logic) planned for upcoming iterations.
