Featured in L'Est Éclair — International Awards at 22
In November 2025, French regional daily L'Est Éclair dedicated a feature to Écrin Digital and its founder Alexis Gridel, a 22-year-old engineering student at UTT (Université de Technologie de Troyes). Written by journalist Adèle Fabre-Forlini, the article retraces the agency's two-and-a-half year journey from a student-run side project, initially helping associations and supporting work for the homeless, to an internationally recognised digital studio.
The piece highlights Écrin Digital's growing portfolio of awards, including the CSS Design Awards, the CSS Winner STAR, and the Netty Award 2025, where the agency was nominated in the Best Web Development Agency category against several international finalists. The article also covers Alexis's participation at the ICSB World Congress in Montreal and the third edition of the ALL.IN AI summit in Canada — two of the largest AI events of the year.
The article frames Écrin Digital as proof that a young French agency, run by a student-entrepreneur, can compete with the best international web studios while keeping its local roots.
