WORKING Experience
Elonovo - Las Vegas - Nevada - Remote
Director of Product Design
September 2024 <> Present
With consulting demand slowing, I decided to revive one of my earlier ventures: building native applications for Apple platforms. Before moving to the U.S., I ran a successful software company in France for 15 years, leading teams of up to 20 people and delivering innovative products.
Over the past eight years, I’ve grown increasingly frustrated watching companies ship low-quality web apps built on poorly chosen stacks, often at the expense of user experience. That frustration pushed me to explore on what’s possible with Swift and SwiftUI, and to prove that modern, native apps can still set a much higher standard for quality, performance, and usability.
Today, I operate this business solo, combining deep design and engineering experience with AI-assisted tools such as Cursor. This setup allows me to both demonstrate and explore what the AI revolution makes possible for apps. I’m deeply passionate about crafting exceptional native experiences, and users consistently praise the apps for their simplicity.
I currently manage two brands: elonovo.com, focused on productivity apps, and xproline.io, dedicated to
kiosk solutions. Visit the websites and download the apps to evaluate my skills.

MacWeb Computing - Las Vegas - Nevada - Remote
Head of Design
March 2023 <> August 2024
I led a brand update by defining and implementing a new design strategy while helping
to build a stronger team. My work spanned the entire user experience, from internal
tools to customer-facing platforms. I selected and applied a design system that
ensured consistency across marketing and product offerings, aligning with Apple’s
standards for quality and simplicity.
Leveraging some skills in coding and animation, I developed a dynamic new website
and collaborated closely with the marketing team to align goals and priorities. With
a design approach rooted in metrics, I’m happy to report a 50% sales increase in
2023 and a 74% growth in the first quarter of 2024.
NB: Since December 2025, MacWeb created a new website using a generic Bootstrap theme. You can only see my work in my portfolio section.
Auctane - Las Vegas - Nevada - Remote
Senior Product Designer
September 2022 <> February 2023
I completed a six-month contract with Auctane, through Austin Fraser, supporting
their SaaS applications that serve businesses of all sizes with mailing, shipping,
and logistics solutions. In the first two months, I collaborated with the design
team to integrate ShipStation's bulk shipping experience into PayPal using
ShipEngine Elements technology, delivering a seamless, modern user experience just
in time for the holiday season. Later, I focused on ShipStation, where I contributed
to enhancing the onboarding process, improving order sync functionality, and
refining 3PL settings to better meet user needs.

My work consistently exceeded client expectations, earning commendations for quality, and my designs were frequently selected as the preferred option across multiple team iterations. Despite this success, my role was concluded due to economic conditions, a limited project pipeline, and a recent merger with the S4 Capital group that occurred shortly before I joined.

centralize conversations in a user-friendly interface with a CRM focus.
During my tenure, I played an active role in growing the design team from 4 to 15
designers and received commendations from my managers for the quality of my work,
which also involved refreshing several legacy products.

phone communications with an intuitive online interface for generating server
topologies. I successfully delivered the project on schedule and received
commendations from multiple managers for both the quality of my work and my
proactive approach to project management. To communicate the user experience to the
engineering team, I utilized Sketch, Invision, and ProtoPie.
I was offered a verbal opportunity to join Splunk full-time, but the Covid crisis

building. Nonetheless, I forged valuable connections and friendships during my time

Moving from France to USA
Career break
April 2016 <> December 2017
After spending 15 years working for the same company, I decided to take a break and move from France to the US as a green card holder. During this time, I focused on developing my network in the heart of Silicon Valley and provided design advice to numerous startups through various gigs. My main priority was to adapt to and better understand US culture before committing to full-time work. One of the most rewarding experiences during this time was working with Niki Gastinel, a leader in the Silicon Valley known for her innovative projects.

El Camino Real - Villeurbanne - France
Fun story
January 1995 <> December 1996
During that period, I helped a friend sell NeXT computers in France. He ran what was likely the only physical NeXT store in the world, called El Camino Real. The store sold a significant number of machines to organizations such as CERN, IRCAM, and several French companies.
This experience is where I was first exposed to object-oriented technologies via NeXTstep and gained a deep understanding of hardware capabilities. I also met Steve Jobs during a trip to Silicon Valley, visited NeXT’s headquarters, and toured the factory. That experience later inspired me to create app4mac.
