François Halard

Sr. Product Designer

I’m François, a Product Designer based in Paris, specialized in B2B SaaS and AI-driven products.

I started my career in startups and design agencies, including Attoma, before joining Preligens in 2021 as their first Product Designer. For three and a half years, I shaped core products, created new ones, and built the design foundations that supported the company's scale-up phase. I also grew the design team from one to five designers as Preligens expanded from 50 to over 250 employees, eventually being acquired by Safran AI.

Since then I've worked as a freelance Product Designer. At Owkin, I contributed to the early development of K, the company's multimodal AI platform for biomedical researchers, helping shape its vision shortly after the MVP.

Today I'm at Lithosquare, a geoscientific data SaaS, as their first designer: building the design system, unifying the products into one platform, and designing the guardrails that let the whole team ship interface with an AI agent.
