Self-taught by nature, structured by nearly a decade in the field : I turn curiosity into things that ship.
I'm Maxence, 26, based in Reims, France. What started as tinkering with WordPress themes as a teenager quickly grew into a real journey and a genuine calling across print, e-commerce, product design and branding, before giving birth to MindFctry, the entity that now brings all of my know-how together.

How it takes shape
04Design & Identity
Where my design career finally comes together : brand identities, custom websites and visual systems, shaped by years of learning, client work and a passion for marketing.
Packs & Templates
Templates, graphic packs and ready-to-use files distilled from years of production work, so other creators can move faster.
Software & Tools
The product side of what I do, fed daily by my job designing applications : I build custom tools around my own ideas and interests, on my own time.
Experiments & Prototypes
An open space to test my ideas, my prototypes and other side projects, with no other goal than learning by doing and sharing along the way.
Why MindFctry?
MindFctry is where it all comes together after a decade of work and projects, now condensed into one name, put to work on freelance projects and personal initiatives alike. It's the natural next step after years spent building for other people's brands : I want to finally build my own.
But beyond the professional side, it's first and foremost a playground. I take real pleasure in experimenting, sharing what I learn, and getting better in contact with other creators and developers. Every project, client work or personal itch, gets the same treatment. A challenge worth taking seriously, without ever losing the joy of sharing and creating!
