Hi I'm Joël, product design leader and manager
How I got here
Over 20 years working across agencies and product companies, I've had the chance to design for very different contexts [B2C, B2B, automotive, telecom, travel] before focusing on product design leadership in tech scale-ups.
My work now sits at the intersection of design craft, team growth, and business outcomes. I'm hands-on when it matters, and I know when to step back.
How I work
I'm impact-driven and detail-oriented, both at once, not alternately.
I communicate clearly and early, collaborate without friction, and stay proactive about surfacing new ways to frame a problem or approach a project.
I've learned that the quality of a team's work is inseparable from the quality of its conversations.
