About Bastien

French Product Designer based in Paris & Prague with 10+ years in regulated finance: wealth management, fintech, KYC, and digital assets. I work end-to-end, from early strategy and research through shipped interfaces, design systems, and the small details that make a product feel considered.

I'm comfortable in environments where compliance and UX have to coexist, where a single screen has to satisfy both an advisor, an auditor, and a regulator. Past clients include private banks, asset managers, crypto platforms, insurance startups, and global enterprises (Apple, Siemens, Akbank, Anaxago).

Increasingly working on AI-native products where humans collaborate with agents and language models: explainability, audit trails, human review flows. If you're building something at the intersection of money, identity, compliance or AI, that's where I'm most useful.

Typical engagements: full product design ownership, design system work, advisor and investor-facing dashboards, KYC and onboarding flows, and 0-to-1 product design with founders.
