Hi, I'm Louis,
a product design leader
in Zurich,
Switzerland.

I'm a product design leader in Zurich with over 20 years in design. At Swiss Marketplace Group I led 10 designers across three brands and raised listing completion from 48% to 72%. Earlier, my design system reached 37 product teams at Rakuten Kobo and we won a Red Dot Design Award. I'm open to conversations about design leadership roles.

Case Studies

From Insight to Delivery

Research & UX

I turn user research, interviews, behavioural data, and business context into clear journeys, opportunities, and product decisions grounded in real needs.

Design

I translate those insights into intuitive experiences, prototypes, interfaces, and scalable design systems that balance customer value with business goals.

Build & Ship

I turn approved designs into production-ready code, refining accessibility, performance, and maintainability from implementation through release.

Lead & Grow

I hire, mentor and develop designers, set the quality bar, and give teams across brands one shared way of working.
