Introduction
I design and structure products and organizations, and create the tools and workflows that connect them. At its core, my work is to solve problems by giving them structure, whether it lands as an interface, a team's operating model, or a tool nobody built yet. Lately that's meant designing products for major brands like Renault, Volkswagen or Carrefour: mobile app LLM-solutions, client portals, B2B platforms and e-commerce websites. At the other end, it's meant coordinating work across business units and running the executive committees where a group decides how it will operate. Often the missing piece is the connective tissue between the two: a workflow, a design system, a tool. When it doesn't exist, I create it. A recent one: a generator that turns a client's Figma design system into production-ready web pages, true to their brand rather than throwaway code. AI is leveraged in a real production tool, not a demo. The drive to structure and solve predates the design work. It started at Sciences Po and in early work untangling multi-stakeholder problems, the same instinct I bring to products and organizations now. Across all of it, the same things matter to me: clarity, rigor, and an obsession with anticipating what breaks before it does. I'm looking for hard problems, work I can genuinely shape, and people I can learn from. [email protected]

Independent product and web work under my own practice, plus the tools I build to speed it up. - Built a generator that turns a client's Figma design system into production-ready web pages: brand-faithful by construction, with a block-memory system that reuses already-coded components to cut time-to-market (validated mock-up to shipped code, from 1-2 weeks down to a day) and an attached CMS for content edits before hand-off. Now used in production at an agency. - Designed and built full websites end to end (UX, UI, Webflow, QA): Artypac (product site plus an on-the-fly SEA landing-page engine built on Webflow Collections and Variables), Internet Infrastructure Forum (visual identity, IA, UI, build), and lead-generation sites for law firms (Lesigne Avocat, Pierre Vinot Avocat).
