ABOUT ME
I’m a human passionate about solving other humans’ problems with good design.
A multidisciplinary and strategic Director of Product Design, I take a holistic approach to product development—considering not just the product itself, but how people interact with it. Naturally inquisitive, I prioritise user research to uncover both user and business challenges before crafting functional, elegant solutions. I thrive on challenging assumptions through rapid prototyping and user testing, ensuring design decisions are informed, intentional, and impactful.
As a design leader, I am dedicated to fostering an environment where designers can do their best work under optimal conditions. I champion clear and concise communication, transparency, and accountability—cultivating a positive, safe, and highly collaborative culture.
Passionate about the intersection of AI, research, and design, I am actively exploring innovative ways to leverage AI tools to enhance and optimize UX research and product design.
Born and raised in France, I began my career in London after relocating from Paris in 2009. Since 2021, I have been based in the Netherlands, further expanding my diverse international experience.

She led the discovery/user testing process across multiple projects, working closely with the development team to ensure they had everything they needed for build, and refine the scope of her designs based on their input.
Memona launched a number of new projects, planning and facilitating stakeholder workshops. Her astute planning ensured they successfully captured the input we needed while also encouraging the stakeholders to think more widely about how the team could support them.”
