—Tristan Bernard.

Design

Inspired by the NowNowNow movement, in this page you can find what I am doing now.
(Updated on November 2020)

I work as a Senior Strategic Designer in the fields of Service Design, UX Design, Interaction Design, User Research, User Interface Design, Usability Testing, and managing small remote groups of designers and developers. I love facilitating collective intelligence by coaching and mentoring young business startups about their product discovery and design activities.

Questioning the deep motives behind your celebration shatters your identity from the foundations. It’s a disruptive act to redefine yourself.
Minimize unintended consequences by thinking in systems
