PRODUCT DESIGNER & DESIGN MANAGER
About Me
Before UX Design, I worked in biomedical research publications, helping patients with rare, debilitating diseases access the latest findings in order to understand what will help them overcome their dire situations. Any and all findings were based on as much research as possible, through multiple studies and meta-analyses that reinforced a specific product's efficiency.
User-centered decisions are what I rely on to fix design problems. With a toolkit based on research methods at every step of the design process and user empathy, no problem is too daunting.
When I'm not designing products, I'm imagining solutions to complex problems at boulders both outdoors and in the rock gym, and trying to perfect puff pastry to make all the goodies I enjoyed as a child.
I currently work as a Product Design Manager at Later, a Social Media and Influencer Marketing software company in Brooklyn, NY, where I am leading through ambiguity with creative problem solving that addresses user and business needs and is technically feasible to implement, while developing design talent and building a thriving culture where designers are inspired, feel a strong sense of inclusion and belonging, and are motivated to grow in their careers.
I'm Émile, a Design Manager who emphasizes the research aspects of the design process in order to make the most user-centered and user-validated products. To me, thorough user-testing and interviewing isn't merely a tool to validate ideas, but a journey to put evidence at the forefront of the design process. Both in my management, UX projects, and personal philosophy, empathy toward others guides decisions. Focusing on users and getting their insights throughout a project should guide the process — no one should struggle when interacting with a finished product.
