À propos de Ariane
I'm a senior product designer with an unusual path, intelligence analysis, data visualization, strategy consulting, now fully focused on making AI-powered products understandable, trustworthy and compliant.
I help B2B SaaS teams working on complex, data-heavy or AI-driven products turn ambiguity into structure and ship interfaces that real users (not just data scientists) can understand and trust.
What I bring to a mission:
– Product discovery, problem framing and UX strategy for AI features (scoring, automation, recommendations)
– End-to-end UX/UI for complex SaaS workflows, dashboards and data-heavy products
– Explainability and transparency design: confidence scores, decision explanations, human oversight flows, AI Act-ready patterns
– Design system foundations, Design Ops, documentation and team enablement
– Cross-functional alignment across product, data, engineering and legal
Before startups, I spent years in strategic intelligence, data science consulting and an innovation lab at EY, where I learned to bridge design, data and business in high-stakes environments. That foundation is what allows me to work comfortably in regulated, technical or ambiguous contexts, and to make the complex feel accessible, fast.
Available for: missions, audits, workshops, advisory. Remote-first, based in Paris.
