01 / WHO I HELPBuilt for teams where design decisions have real-world consequences.
01.1Critical industries
I work with organizations designing products and systems where human error, usability flaws, or misalignment can have real-world consequences. Aerospace, defense, medical devices, energy, and other safety-critical domains — where solutions must perform reliably under regulation, pressure, and real conditions of use.
01.2AI-based solutions
I specialize in AI-based and data-intensive solutions that interact with humans in operational contexts. Translating human needs, cognitive constraints, and real-world usage into systems that are understandable, usable, trustworthy — not just technically impressive.
01.3Engineering-driven organizations
I bring design as a strategic capability to R&D teams, industrial groups, and deep-tech startups led by technical experts — aligning usage, decisions, and impact without slowing innovation. The goal is not to add a design layer, but to build design into how decisions get made.
02 / METHODAn innovation framework developed for safety-critical environments.
Three pillars — Identity, Technologies, Usage. Ten phases, from early exploration to system validation. Grounded in doctoral research co-supervised with Thales Avionics and validated through field work with aerospace, defense, and automotive teams.
