Testimonials

Best part of the job? The people I’ve shared it with

I’m grateful for the people I’ve collaborated with over the years, here’s what some of them have to say.

Shahil Hiridjee

Head of Product @BlaBlaCar

I had the chance to work with Mylène at BlaBlaCar, and she's one of the best product designers I have ever worked with. She has this rare ability to absorb complex problems incredibly fast, while never losing sight of the business, product, and tech constraints.
Her speed and quality of execution are seriously impressive — every deliverable was thoughtful, user-centered, and aligned with our goals. Working with her was super smooth: she’s collaborative, sharp, and always a step ahead.
If you’re looking for a top-tier product designer who can both think strategically and execute flawlessly, I can’t recommend Mylène enough.

One of my best collaborations with one of the most talented Product Designers. Mylène is capable of kick-starting ideas and driving them to very solid products that fit market needs.

We initially collaborated with Mylène for the launch of a new offer on our platform, and we were quickly impressed by her ability to take a step back and fully grasp our challenges, as well as by her rigor — and of course, her creativity.
Even working remotely, there was never any misalignment or confusion. She meticulously documented each step and aspect of her work, setting up our development team for success in bringing her designs to life.

Benoit Rajalu

Senior Front-End. Design System @BlaBlaCar

I have worked with Mylène for years, and in different companies. I have seen her work in very different environments, for very different projects and with a wide variety of stakeholders—product leads, engineers, other designers etc...
The one constant has always been the excellence of Mylène output. She is, without a doubt, one of the most skilled product designer one could hire. Her analysis are top-notch. Her technical know-how is excellent. Her speed is borderline scary.
These qualities could be offset by lacking soft skills—but there too Mylène has always proven excellent. She handles feedback perfectly, and strives on it. She easily understands technical constraints and calmly, methodically finds the most positive consensus. I have never seen a designer drop an idea they had worked on with such passion so gracefully as her: if "it" doesn't work, Mylène will find something else without looking back.

Head of Sami Pro. Cofounder of GoodSteps

We hired Mylene as Senior Product Designer for Good Steps 18 months ago and her impact on the company has been stellar. Mylene is one of the most talented individual I ever got to work with, she has the perfect blend of skills between 1/ creativity in everything she designs 2/ adaptability to work on different tasks (product, UX research, UI design, etc.) and 3/ an outrageous execution speed and efficiency. The best way to work with Mylene is simply to present her with a problem to solve, give her the space and iterate fast ! She is worth every penny and we would hire her full time any day if only she would let us :)
