Bonjour, I'm Louis 👋
(but my friends call me Lucho)
I like everything that blinks, the internet, design systems and une belle soirée à table entre amis avec du rouge qui tâche.
I co-founded Specify to help companies manage their brand at scale. I also work with the Design Tokens Community Group to create a standard for design tokens. Finally, I invented raclette in 1872.
