Hi!
I’m Annick, a senior product designer who focuses strongly on user needs through end-to-end design. I am used to owning my product areas, conducting research and diving deeply into problems before jumping into solutions. I deal with lots of requirements and information to deliver flows that reduce the complexity for the end user.

She's incredibly organized and a great teammate. Her comments in design crit sessions are insightful and show her deep knowledge of design heuristics and best practices. Her skillset would be an asset to any product design team that really cares about designing the right thing.”
— Bryce Propheter, Sr. Product Designer“Annick scheduled a standing bi-weekly meeting to keep everyone in the loop on new developments and insights. She was incredibly responsive when team members had follow up questions and was quick to update designs when technical constraints challenged the original plan. She would be a great addition to any team and I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.”
— Greg Roughton, Engineering ManagerAbout me
I have pursued my passions in computers and art for as long as I can remember. I started my career working as a digital illustrator in animation and video games after studying art, before getting a Masters in Human-Computer Interaction and pursuing UX in 2015.
I have extensive experience as an end-to-end product designer for responsive web and mobile apps. I have worked in a lot of different companies – 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.
While I am of Swiss nationality, I grew up traveling the world with a diplomat father, living mostly in Europe and Latino-America. I spent 20 years as an adult living in Atlanta in the USA, before returning to Switzerland in 2026, where I live near Lausanne with my family.
I aim to continue working on a variety of digital experiences and look forward to the projects the future brings.
