I’m a French, Tokyo-based designer and entrepreneur passionate about social innovation. I run a boutique strategic design studio called nowthen, and I have been contributing to to Colere’s product design and strategy since Jan 2022.

I help out with product design and product strategy. On a day-to-day basis that means a lot of conversations with the founders, product leaders, and designers, to align on priorities and processes; plus some hands-on UX/UI work here and there.

Trust (in the workplace) allows you to just be in the present without fear of judgement from peers. With trust you can simply speak your mind, do your work, ask for help, give and receive feedback.

You’ll regret the things you don’t do more than the things you do — so go ahead and do it 🙂

Shimoda in Shizuoka prefecture of Japan. I often take short surf trips and workations there.

For me it’s all about finding a balance between focussed-work and social-work, blended with a healthy dose of things-that-feel-good. I want to go to bed knowing that I’ve accomplished things, but not feeling completely depleted of energy either. Something like: Exercise in the morning, sit at a cafe and have a good 2~3 hours deep-work session, eat Mexican food for lunch, have a couple of short but productive online meetings in the afternoon, catch-up with my wife over tea and snacks mid-afternoon, write a bit in the evening, and call it a day!

It’s all about the people you work with. Just work with fun people ❤️

I love working from coffee shops, so on every other day my work station looks like that.
