“Pascal is legit, I'd vouch for him any day both technically and for his innovation prowess.”
“One of the standout qualities of Pascal is his collaborative spirit. He is always willing to lend a hand and share his knowledge with the team, fostering a positive and productive work environment. His strong communication skills and proactive approach make him a very valuable asset to any project. If you get the chance to participate in one of Pascal's Design Workshops, don't hesitate!”
“In almost every project in my job, I think of how I want to involve Pascal—his background in technology creates a broad UX-based skill set, he can take on all kinds of challenges, and I know he will wrap a unique perspective around his work. Pascal is a challenger, but incredibly fair and open, so he is an excellent partner in innovation and change, for product and processes.”
These principles come from the field; from lessons learned, mistakes made, and moments when the right design just clicked. They’re how I stay grounded and intentional in everything I create.
For me, it always starts with listening. Whether it’s a user interview or a bit of unexpected feedback from someone struggling with an interface, I pay attention. Over time, I’ve learned that empathy is more than a design buzzword, it’s the bridge between intention and real-world impact. I take time to understand the frustrations behind the clicks and taps, and I don’t stop at just designing for the “average” user. Accessibility and inclusivity are non-negotiable for me, and I test with real people from diverse backgrounds to make sure what I’ve designed truly works for all.
There’s something elegant about a design that just makes sense—the kind that doesn’t need an explanation. I’ve learned that simplicity isn’t about stripping things away until nothing is left; it’s about keeping only what matters. I love untangling complexity, turning cluttered flows into clean, intuitive journeys. It’s a bit like editing a good story; you keep refining until the message is clear, and nothing distracts from the core.
I’ve seen how quickly things can unravel without a solid foundation. That’s why I’m passionate about building and maintaining design systems that don’t just look good, but actually scale. I make sure every component has a purpose, fits the bigger picture, and plays well with engineering. For me, consistency isn’t about rigidity, it’s about giving teams a shared language so we can move fast together, without losing sight of quality.
Design, to me, is part intuition and part detective work. I dig into data, sure but I also gather stories, edge cases, tensions. When numbers clash with anecdotes, I bring people together in workshops to unpack what’s really going on. The best decisions I’ve been part of didn’t come from certainty, they came from alignment. And I always keep one eye on the ethics: will this build trust, not just clicks?
