Alumni: Matthieu Babé, Senior Product Designer
Share
The design professions have evolved a lot in twenty years. On the occasion of Intuit Lab's anniversary, we find our alumni who tell us about their experiences and their relationship to work.
Defining and solving problems is Matthieu Babé's daily bread. A Senior Product Designer and graduate of the 2014-2015 class, he is dedicated to understanding user behavior. Behind the design of our digital interfaces lies extensive thought and deliberate choices. " I don't move a single pixel without having researched and understood the issue," asserts the Senior Product Designer at Luko, a new home insurance company. In the insurance sector, where customers experience a claims process, he strives to simplify the user experience.
“Design has a responsibility to provide a coherent response, a broader vision. It absorbs complexity ,” explains Matthieu, adding that you have to “understand a problem in order to sell it.” “We move forward by defining the problem; inspiration comes later,” continues Matthieu, who explains that he creates “a mood board of usage patterns and behaviors before extracting the creative essence.”
Invent your job
After his studies , Matthieu wasted no time in creating his startup and working as a freelancer. Through his experiences, he learned his craft on the job, a craft that didn't yet have a name . It's this audacity to take the plunge, to dare to try, to allow oneself to dream, that he wants to pass on to students. His rich journey has allowed him to flourish: "I feel like I'm exactly where I'm meant to be." His next challenge? Perhaps becoming a Design Manager!
