About me

I’m Ben, a software product designer with 10+ years of experience, working remotely from Reims, France.

I help companies design digital products that are aligned with their business goals and genuinely useful for their users.

My focus is on solving the right problems and turning complex requirements into clear, usable solutions.

I collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to ensure ideas can be shipped, not just designed.

Outside of work, I enjoy learning new skills such as guitar playing and woodworking.

I occasionally share content on X, Bluesky and Mastodon.

If you’re looking for a software product designer to help you shape or scale a digital product, feel free to get in touch.

Thanks to Ben's work, we were able to make a significant leap forward in scaling our medical follow-up solutions. He helped us design tools that are not only far more pleasant for patients to use, but also incredibly ergonomic, simple, and intuitive for physicians. Harnessing Ben’s design talent to improve medical care means reaching more patients, and caring for them better.

Ben has excellent listening skills and is also proactive in making suggestions. He knows how to question himself and finds ways to advance his ideas. I appreciated his attention to detail and his unique touch. Thanks to his background as a developer, he knows how to find resources when the traditional tools of a Product Designer reach their limits, allowing for the creation of prototypes that truly enable ownership of the proposals.
