Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Thomas
Senior Product Designer & Builder, based in Bordeaux. Studio: Odysseus.studio.
9 years of experience in product design, art direction, and front-end development. Before freelancing, I led products for Next Mobile, b-cube.ai, CINEMUR, TotalEnergies, and My Pepper Factory (which I co-founded) — a product background that now informs every mission, upstream of the design.
I support startups, scale-ups, and SMEs/ETIs in the design and development of their interfaces: editorial websites, SaaS products, design systems, visual identities.
What I do
— Product Design (UX/UI, design systems, Figma prototyping)
— Front-end Development (Next.js, React, Tailwind, Framer Motion, Webflow, Framer)
— Art Direction & Branding (logo, identity, print)
— AI-assisted Development (Claude Code, Cursor) — structured workflows, specialized agents, custom automations
What this changes
A product-first approach upstream (scoping, prioritization, KPIs), editorial rigor in the middle (references: Linear, Vercel, Raycast, Awwwards), and AI-assisted execution velocity at the end. I deliver quickly without sacrificing consistency.
