About me

UX Designer Product Designer Design Systems Designer

I'm Mirreille! (mee-ray)

I'm a product designer with a creative mind and a keen eye for detail — driven by genuine curiosity about how people think, behave, and interact with the products around them.

My path into UX was a bit unconventional. I'm self-taught, having learned the craft hands-on by working alongside experienced designers rather than through a traditional program. That grounding shaped how I design today: practical, collaborative, and always willing to learn by doing.

Right now, my focus is on design systems. Building the shared language and components that let teams design and ship consistent, accessible experiences at scale.

Outside of work, I'm usually planning my next trip, trying a new cuisine, or getting lost in a hands-on craft like sewing or embroidery. I love the process of making something with my hands as much as I love making something that works well on a screen. I'm always up for discovering a new hobby or adventure along the way!
