Hi, I’m Pierre

A London based UX and UI designer who turns complex problems into simple, human products. I work end to end from research and information architecture to prototyping and polished design, partnering with engineers to ship usable, accessible interfaces. I care about clarity, evidence, and craft, and I measure success by fewer steps, faster tasks, and happier users. Beyond Figma, I explore AI powered workflows and mixed reality to push what products can do.
