MentionCheck project

Early 2015 I joined Mention when there was only 10 employee. My main mission was to build a design team by creating new process to answer product and marketing needs. Within 4 years we built a product who simplified the media monitoring of more than 750 000 company around the world.

Driven by simplicity & excellence

I have been working for the last 4 years at Mention.com as a Lead Designer. During this experience, I had the chance to manage a team, create a product/brand, implement process, hirie peoples and much more... Mention has been acquired in 2018 which marked the end of my adventure there. Besides that, I was working for multiple clients as a Freelance Designer during my spare time. Those dozen of projects gave me the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone to continuously build efficient and clean product experience.

Now? I’m working as Design Director at Payfit. On a daily basis, I’m designing new features with a human centered approach within the product team. Beside that I manage designers and lead team by ensuring they have every elements needed to their personal and professional developement.
