My Design Process
Great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about solving real problems. My process is structured yet flexible, ensuring that every decision is driven by user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility. Here’s how I approach each project:
01
Understand
Every project starts with a deep dive into user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints. Through research, stakeholder interviews, and data analysis, I uncover insights that guide the design strategy.
Define
I translate insights into clear design opportunities. This step involves structuring information, defining user flows, and prioritizing features to create a solid foundation for the product.
02
Design & Iterate
From wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes, I craft intuitive interfaces with a focus on usability and accessibility. I test and refine designs through feedback loops to ensure the best user experience.
03
Deliver & Support
I collaborate closely with developers to bring designs to life, ensuring smooth handoff and implementation. Even after launch, I analyze performance and iterate to continuously enhance the product.

01
Discover
Brainstorming sessions in order to take their needs and company goals into account. Define the scope and objectives of the project and lays a fundamental foundation for everything that comes after.
Develop
Define the user experience, test and evaluate design concepts, and analyze how your designs will inform behavior and effect the experience of the user.
03
Define
Gather additional information about the ideal client, market opportunities and design sprint. Getting direct feedback from users themselves through user surveys and field activities.
02
Deliver
Determine design patterns, elements of template pages, different framework options, and work with developers to test design functionality.

Bonjour !
I’m a product designer from Paris, now based in Toronto, with a passion for crafting thoughtful and impactful user experiences. Since 2015, I’ve worked across startups and large companies, blending creativity, strategy, and a global perspective to design products that truly resonate with users. I thrive on solving complex problems, refining interactions, and shaping seamless digital experiences.
Beyond my work in design, I’m a passionate runner and a curious cook, always looking for inspiration—whether in the rhythm of a long run or the creativity of a new recipe. Music is another big part of my life; I enjoy DJing and producing, blending sounds just like I do ideas in design.
