Product Lead – UI & IXD at UNOWHY
Currently,
- I am creating the 2024 strategic plan for SQOOL product suite, including the vision, roadmap, budget and resource allocation. This plan will be presented to UNOWHY executives and C-Levels in December 2023.
- I build a prioritization framework for product evolutions coming from the Customer Success team.
- I create 2 business cases for integration contracts with our educational software suite.
My ultimate goal is to transform the perception over what we call « digital » to make it invisible and get our user to do what he has to do without disturbing him with the logic of a computer system. Design a tool that becomes helpful, that inspires.
Who
- I am a passionate designer with experience in innovation, media groups and startups.
- I work at the intersection between branding, interface design, content and strategy.
- I am used to lead a team as well as being hands-on.
- I am currently learning product management, prioritization methodologies and to extend my leadership to product owners in the product team I lead alongside 2 other Product Leads at UNOWHY (3 designers, 6 product owners).
I believe
- Creating digital products that help clients, not overwhelm or nag them into certain behaviors. I prioritize respectful interfaces that favor user efficiency and satisfaction over profit.
- Deep understanding of user needs, precision in craft, standard patterns over fancy UI and a commitment to design valuable interactions that foster task completion without interference.
- Empower my team with guidelines and coaching enables them to navigate complexity, be creative with design solutions, and develop their careers.
Principles
- Self explanatory interfaces over minimalistic

- Static & focused over infinite.
