👋 Hey there!

I’m a Senior Product Designer based in Lille, specialising in Design Systems. I love building systems that help teams design faster and more effectively.

Components, patterns, governance, documentation, adoption… I enjoy thinking through a system just as much as bringing it to life with the teams who use it.

These days, I’m also exploring how AI and agentic workflows are changing the way we design, prototype and document.

01 / Selected projects

From systems to experiences.

From cloud to retail, from components
to the products that bring them to life.

02 / What I love doing

Connecting the dots.

01

Design Systems

Building useful libraries, defining the rules and supporting adoption. A system needs to live in products, and alongside the teams who use it.

Governance · Components · Tokens · Guidelines · DesignOps

02

Product Design

Understanding needs, designing journeys, prototyping and crafting interfaces. With accessibility in mind.

UX / UI · User-centred design · Responsive design · Accessibility

03

AI & prototyping

Exploring new ways to design. Taking an idea through to a prototype, iterating, documenting and experimenting with vibe coding.

AI-assisted design · Agentic workflows · Figma Make · Claude

04

Helping teams grow

Supporting designers, sharing practices and moving things forward together. Design is a team effort too.

Management · Mentoring · Coaching · Community building

In my toolbox

04 / Behind the components

There’s more to life than Figma.

And like many people over 35, I love emojis and GIFs. I would have loved to do some research on that, but Le Monde got there first… Oh well.

🗄️

A love of organising

Ask me to sort out cupboards or a wardrobe, and I’ll be there in under 15 minutes.

🕹️

The Sims 4

My proudest achievement: not a single Motherlode cheat in years of playing!

📺

Streaming

Starting Top Chef at 9:30 pm is a bit much. So I gave up on live TV.

👶

Parenthood

For almost five years. If my calculations are right, that’s since I became a mum.

And for a chat…

French 🇫🇷

Native language

English 🇺🇸

Fluent (C1 - CEFR)

Spanish 🇪🇸

Not good enough to use professionally, but I’m very good at ordering a burger, which is really all that matters.

Chinese 🇨🇳

I stopped in high school, so it’s really just here to look nice.

05 / What’s next?

So, are we a match?

If something here clicks, shall we have a call and grab a coffee? Tea? Hot chocolate?

No alcohol, because I start dancing the Macarena far too quickly
and it’s awkward for everyone…
