Hello there! I'm Julien Bouvet,
a french Design Manager based in Paris.

I lead teams design and improve digital products with a particular focus on lean implementation, tooling, and growth in a tech environment. Past experiences include both B2B and B2C projects stretching from pure marketing SaaS webapps to end consumer native applications; from large companies to startups.

I like code, minimal processes and forward-thinking.

Renault One

, Working for Renault’s large-scale digital relaunch, I was part of a leading user experience effort for its e-commerce chapter: building user journeys, conducting or mandating user tests, and creating wireframes and prototypes as deliverables.

Poscat

,

« La littérature entre deux portes »

A solo take on the publishing digital distribution means. Homebrewed, from its design to its last line of code. Poscat is dedicated to improving the reading experience based on the reported lack of time, the difficulty to follow through on any long format, and adapting the content creation process to my own needs. Poscat hosts works of fiction, both long and short. At the time of writing (early 2023), Poscat is in a feature-freeze state.
