Hello, I'm Stéphanie.
I'm a Product Designer, Art Director & champion of inclusive design. I aim to create experiences that everyone can enjoy.

I create design solutions that align business objectives by combining product strategy, user experience and creative thinking. 

Currently, I collaborate with a startup in the publishing industry, where I have the unique opportunity to connect my passion for digital and literature.

In addition to my professional projects, I’m committed to supporting accessible design through AY11-Toolbox where I share hand-curated resources. I am based in Seattle, WA and I enjoy exploring the city as a Door Hunter in my free time.


Expertise

I have 15 years of experience delivering successful B2B projects for a wide breadth of industries, oftentimes from the ground up to the final products. I have a passion for creating experiences that will improve users' lives and approach every problematic with an open and curious mind. I specialize in:

Product Strategy

I perform competitive analysis, audits, and usability tests to empathize with final users. These steps are essential to analyze paint points and recommend design solutions that will align with your business vision.

Product Design

I create consistent, clear and effective designs. I use iterative design based on qualitative and quantitave data to create or refine products.

Web Accessibility

I'll always advocate teams to take the extra time to delight all your users. Accessibility is not a bolt-on extra feature. Everyone needs, or will need, accommodation sometimes.

Blush is a web tool and plugin to create stunning illustrations. I felt in love with the project, so when the cofounder, Pablo Stanley, was looking for a French translator, I offered my help :-)
