My design journey, Paris → LA 0:002:00

Three years designing in France taught me to sweat the details. Los Angeles taught me to ship — I design products end to end, and with AI I take them all the way to a real app.

Every product is a journey. I design the way there.

Four projects designed between Paris and Los Angeles. Every card opens the full story — from the first sketch to the shipped product.

How I work

Designer first. AI-powered.

I keep research light and purposeful, then spend my energy where users feel it: the design itself.

01

Start from real people

Conversations, one sharp persona, a journey map — just enough research to aim, then I move into design fast.

02

Systems, not screens

Figma design systems with variables and light/dark modes, so every new screen is consistent from day one.

03

Ship it with AI

I prototype in code and treat AI as a teammate — it helped me turn Au Pair Society's designs into a working iOS app.

About

I'm a French product designer who traded Paris for Los Angeles — and started shipping my own products.

Three years of UI/UX work in France — a studio, a non-profit, an international retailer — taught me to care about details, accessibility and systems. In LA, I began building products of my own, and learned that with AI a designer can take an idea all the way to a real app.

From January 2027 I'm pursuing an MBA in Management Information Systems, to connect design with data and business. I'm open to Summer 2027 internships and part-time roles — authorized through CPT, no sponsorship required.
