About Olivier

Need to improve conversion, simplify complex flows, or ship a clean MVP without endless back-and-forth?

  • I help Product & Engineering teams turn unclear problems into validated UX decisions and buildable Figma prototypes.

What I bring:

  • Research-driven clarity: interviews, usability testing, UX audits → insights you can act on
  • UX that ships: information architecture, user flows, wireframes → high-fidelity prototypes
  • MVP focus: prioritisation, scope definition, fast iterations
  • Strong collaboration: clear handoff, alignment workshops, delivery support until release

What I usually deliver:

  • UX audits + recommendations
  • User flows / IA (= Information Architecture)
  • Figma prototypes (wireframes to high-fidelity)
  • MVP scope & prioritised backlog inputs
  • UX guidelines / design patterns for consistency
  • French

    Native or bilingual

  • English
