About Thibault

Freelance Lead Product Designer, 15+ years of experience with complex enterprise applications for large corporations.

Thales (Defense, 3 years), Sanofi (Pharma, 9 years), EDF, SAFER, Alpha MOS.
My role is to transform heavy business processes into interfaces that users truly adopt.
Military intelligence, global pharma platforms, industrial tools. Where error is not an option.

WHAT I DO

Lead UX & Design System
Design and industrialization of Design Systems at scale (Sanofi Global Design Platform over 9 years). Leadership of multidisciplinary design teams. Atomic Design, RGAA accessibility, Figma integration to code.

UX Research & Strategy
Field interviews, usability testing, user journeys, personas. I use generative AI to accelerate synthesis, but the field remains the foundation. Wireframing, Figma prototyping.

Lead Product Owner & SAFe
Dual role of Lead UX / Proxy PO on the Thales (Ministry of Armed Forces) mission. Writing Features, facilitating sprints, aligning development squads.
Certified PSPO I (Scrum.org) and CSPO (Scrum Alliance).

WHY CHOOSE ME

My initial training in design and front-end development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) provides a differentiating advantage in my Product Design practice.

The deliverables I produce integrate implementation constraints from the design phase: component naming aligned with your conventions, token structure directly usable, documentation compliant with your technical teams' standards.

This dual expertise facilitates collaboration between design and development, and ensures consistency between mockups and the final product.
