About me
17 years at the intersection of design, AI, and business strategy
Full-Stack Product Builder With a keen eye for detail, a love of innovation and my background, I always strive to create products that meet objectives. I intervene to make an impact in companies or projects.
I'm Emilien, a Product Innovation Specialist based in Quebec with 17 years of experience building products at startups and scale-ups.
My Approach: Business → POC → App
I transform business ideas into testable working prototypes in days, not weeks. My strength: aligning product vision with business objectives while accelerating delivery through generative AI and automation.
What Sets Me Apart
Prototyping & Velocity
I turn concepts into testable products rapidly, enabling faster idea validation and reducing friction to market.
Generative AI & Automation
I embed generative AI into design workflows and automate processes (n8n, no-code) to boost efficiency and shorten development cycles.
Leadership & Strategy
I collaborate with executives (CEO, CPO, PMs) to align product vision with business strategy while building and mentoring design teams.
Entrepreneurship
Co-founder/partner in an AI startup and operated an e-commerce business for 3 years. This holistic experience gave me deep understanding of business challenges and design's strategic role.
