Product designer, I design the moment

I’m Marie-Liesse, a product designer. What I like best is the moment someone finally gets the screen in front of them. Here are a few of those stories.

I trained at Gobelins, then spent six years at Edenred. For the past three I’ve carried the design of a B2B product, from the first user interview to release. I live just outside Paris and I’m looking for a product design role.

SELECTED WORK

Edenred’s merchant portal

2023–2026

The space where restaurant owners track their meal vouchers. I’ve led its design for three years, from the first interview to launch.

Research & user testing · 2023–2024

The onboarding journey

A merchant can sign up alone, online, in one sitting. Six rounds of testing, one last field that stopped everyone and the answer printed on their card receipt.
Redesign & prototype · 2024–2026

The portal and its invoices

They came once a year for their invoices. I gave them other reasons to log in.
Entry point & account recovery · 2024

Logging back in

Merchants who log in twice a year. I made getting into the portal simpler, and gave every dead end a way out.
Components & usage rules

The design system

A system already in place and a whole portal to build inside it: components, screens and states, stretching it when it had to be.
Research & facilitation

Workshops & Personas

Personas and a workshop to work out who we were designing for, the team rituals and an accessibility training course.

Edenred France

2020–2023
UX/UI design · 3 years

Four products, from B2B to B2C

Four platforms and three audiences, where every screen built on other people’s work. Three years to go from the screens I was handed to the ones I chose.

Outside work

Explorations

Interactive experiences

A guided meditation, a Christmas game and a mobile game where you help a grandmother across town, taken from research to screens, 3D included.
Off screen

Oil painting

Copying Monet and Vermeer to learn to look before creating.

These projects say what I’ve done. They don’t say where it comes from: why I spend so much time on the screens nobody draws, or what oil painting has to do with picking up a product halfway through. If you want to know, it’s this way
