English-speaking


I’m a RedDot award-winning Product Designer, innovation sprint facilitator, and currently the Design System Lead at Software AG.
I have studied and worked in several countries — knowing and experiencing the different cultures has cultivated my interest in juxtaposing ideas in work with global teams effectively. One of my main focus is designing workshops and facilitating collaboration to solve problems creatively but with structure.


French-speaking


Depuis 10 ans, j’aide les entreprises à améliorer leur stratégie et leurs services dans le jeu et la bonne humeur grâce à des ateliers d’intelligence collective. Issue d’un master en psychologie et ergonomie cognitive, je suis convaincue que le meilleur moyen pour le cerveau humain de résoudre une problématique complexe et de s’y attaquer de manière ludique et collaborative. Enfin depuis 2017, je propose des formations afin que les entreprises s’approprient les outils UX et deviennent autonomes dans la mise en place de ces méthodes au quotidien.


9. As soon as your profile is up to date, don’t hesitate to check on “Public profile (Allow user to find you in the facilitator’s list)”
