About me

I'm Annick, a seasoned UX/Product designer with over a decade of experience crafting digital experiences. My design journey has taken me through various landscapes, from consulting with top-notch agencies like AKQA to the dynamic world of fintech at Brightwell and the innovative SaaS environment at Calendly.

What sets me apart is my extensive experience as an end-to-end product designer for both responsive web and mobile apps. I've had the privilege of wearing multiple hats in diverse settings – from being the sole designer in a small company, collaborating within a design team in mid-size organizations, to contributing to the design efforts of a global corporation.

You might have encountered some of my work, such as shaping the shopping experience for Delta or enhancing the scheduling process for Calendly. It's the impact of these small design changes on millions of users that fuels my passion for creating meaningful experiences. I've also witnessed the transformative power of design on smaller teams, achieving remarkable results like a 4% to 40% conversion rate improvement or the design and maintenance of a full design system.

My unique perspective, born to Swiss and Guatemalan parents, and a childhood spent moving across Latin America and Europe, has enriched my understanding of diverse cultures and languages. As a native French and Spanish speaker, I intimately understand the challenges non-native English speakers face when navigating the digital landscape. A journey that led me to Atlanta more than a decade ago to master English, study art, and later, delve into the world of Human-Computer Interaction. It's this blend of cultures, languages, and artistry that inspires my creative approach to design.

I'm thrilled to bring this wealth of experience, along with a deep understanding of global perspectives, to your next project.
