I design products and the design systems that let them scale.
Lead Product Designer, 13 years in product design. I design e-commerce sites, apps and internal tools, and the design systems that carry them across brands, from token architecture to adoption.
Recent work: L'Oréal Group, where one design system runs the sites of 30 brands and is becoming AI-native through MCP. Bouygues Telecom, three brands on one system. Renault Digital, a data-heavy tool for engineers.
