About

Hi! I’m Myriam. 
I’m a Senior UX designer in London - which is a very fun job as I get to work for very interesting (and varied) companies.

I started doing UX out of the blue and it turns out that it was my passion all along! I enjoy listening to people, trying to understand what they’re really saying and why. I also love translating those conversations into personas, logical systems and usable, tangible solutions that make users and stakeholders happy.

UX is fun: it’s all about interacting with people. And people are interesting, funny, frustrated, enthusiastic, afraid, confused, passionate, or anything in between. Which is really what makes my day: getting to the bottom of the feelings by opening my ears (and my sketchbooks)

Over the 4+ years working as a UX designer, I’ve acquired some skills, more or less useful to the profession.

I’m very good at sketching ideas, on paper and whiteboards. I love creating post-it walls to organise concepts, problems or models (mental or otherwise). I’m an adept at user research, be it by phone, in person, in workshops, behind a desk, or even behind a camera. I love spreadsheets.

But I also love to make things convenient for people not in my brain: user flows, personas, user stories, wireframes, clickable prototypes… It’s all great to explain, illustrate, test and convey the ideas that have to be put forward.

Some less useful things I can do include sketchnotes, illustrating anything that’s conceptual, sidestepping meetings I don’t want to go to, chatting in the kitchen while the kettle takes ages to boil, eating all the biscuits.

On a more serious note, I enjoy designing solutions that work for the people who need them. Anything that can help me get there is a viable technique and I am not worried about new territories, unknowns and general problems that can arise. Anything has a solution. And if it’s not the right one straight away, there’s time for evolution and iteration.
