The Setsuko workshop is a place for learning, exchanging and relaxing around ceramics, located in the heart of Paris' 11th arrondissement.</p>
<p>In 2021, its founder Stéphane found herself overwhelmed by the management of courses and communication, which until then had been done by email.

She asked me to redesign her existing website and install a computerized course management system. The entire project was carried out from home.
