Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Thomas
Product designer in Nantes, I support companies in the creation of their digital products.
I am available for freelance work a few days a month.
My Background
After several years working at Groupe La Poste and then in IT consulting firms for clients in the banking & insurance and industrial sectors, I now support entrepreneurs, early-stage project leaders, and industrialists as a Senior Product Designer at Lonestone.
I primarily assist them in two scenarios:
- when the product doesn't exist (👶) to help them formalize their ideas and design the v1 of their solution,
- after a funding round (💸) to help them scale, by redefining and improving the product's foundations, in terms of user experience and interface.
My role is to gather user needs to design relevant features, aligned with business objectives, and provide an optimal user experience.
One of my daily challenges is to bring maximum value to the client while respecting constraints (budget, timeline, technical, etc.).
I appreciate the very human aspect (🙋) of my job:
- being alongside passionate project leaders, to bring their ideas to life,
- in the context of user research, when I conduct interviews and tests,
- during discussions with the client, where pedagogy is often required,
- with the project team, when we all work together to design and develop the best possible product
- within the design team, to constantly improve our methods, acquire new skills, master new tools, document our work, etc.
I work daily with Account Managers, Product Owners, developers, and directly with clients.
In parallel, I am working on mermoz.app: a SaaS solution for the aeronautics sector (one of my passions 🛩️)
