About

With extensive experience as an entrepreneur and product designer, I have led various businesses and projects from early startups to rapid growth and acquisition across multiple industries. My expertise lies in brand strategy, team leadership, and product innovation, driven by a strong focus on user experience and technology integration. With a background in architecture, object, and color design, I have honed my skills in researching, planning, designing, and iterating. I am passionate about designing products for a wide audience, constantly challenging myself with innovation and competing against market standards to create successful and valuable products. In my current role as a business owner at La Bonne Société and Ultrapulp, I specialize in brand and product design, UX/UI, and building teams and brands. I have a proven history of working on digital products and brands, translating high-level requirements into intuitive and functional user interfaces. My experience includes leading design operations for prominent companies such as Mistertemp' group, meetic/match Europe, and ifrance.com, where I played a pivotal role in product design, rebranding, and establishing design-driven cultures. My strengths include strategic and operational design, user research, design thinking, and fostering company culture through transparent and engaging leadership.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
