About Virgile

UX/UI Consultant - Product Framing, Interface Design, Ergonomic Audit, and User Testing

I help product, business, and digital teams design or improve clearer, more useful, and more effective web and mobile interfaces.

I work on SaaS products, business applications, web platforms, internal tools, and e-commerce sites when the goal is to clarify user journeys, structure information, reduce friction, or secure a decision before development.

My role: transforming vague needs, user pain points, or business objectives into understandable, coherent, and development-ready screens.

Areas of intervention:
  • UX Framing: needs, objectives, journeys, functional priorities
  • User Research: interviews, usage analysis, pain points
  • UX/UI Design: wireframes, Figma mockups, prototypes, navigation, journeys
  • Ergonomic Audit: expert interface analysis
  • User Testing: preparation, facilitation, analysis, recommendations
  • Co-design Workshops: alignment, trade-offs, prioritization
  • UX Training: ergonomics, best practices, UX methods

Examples of projects:
Orange: user testing since 2020 on various digital products: website, Orange & Moi app, TV, and cross-functional journeys.
Musculation.com: UX/UI redesign of an e-commerce site, optimization of customer journeys up to purchase.
Artis: ergonomic audit of a complex ERP and business software.

I am particularly useful if you need to frame a new product, redesign an interface, simplify a business tool, test a journey before development, or produce clear mockups to align teams.

I work independently or as a reinforcement to a product/design team, with concrete deliverables: audit, test report, user journeys, wireframes, Figma mockups, prototypes, or prioritized UX recommendations.
