Back to original languageAbout Simon
Industrial Designer specialized in product and interface UX for over 15 years, coach and entrepreneur, I have had the opportunity to work in very diverse fields (Industries, furniture, interior architecture, nautical, start-ups, applications, software, tech, defense, organization, management, fashion, real estate, environment...) which have all enriched me and worked for great companies.
My main contributions have led to very contemporary concepts: the Thermomix, evolving furniture for children, connected objects in gardening or connected objects with an emotional interface (Lüa Planter...). Other more classic contributions in the fields of web, software (security and access control, Cash management in retail, Wildlife protection for the European government). I have covered
From design, I have retained the need to immerse myself in the universe for which the projects are intended; from the universes encountered, I keep the ideas and tricks and I like to think that I can be the link between misunderstood universes.
I have expertise in general UX, to support you on all product/software development subjects that require a scenario and an understanding of the different stakeholders, users, and clients.
I can also support you in strategy to maximize the impact of your project.
Finally, I can support you in managing and coaching your teams, after nearly 12 years in team and project management and coaching.
