Gautier Zimmermann, product designer

Hello again!

I'm Gautier — product designer, ultra runner in training, occasional cake baker, and someone who's spent the last several years making health products that don't feel like health products.

I live in Paris and escape to Annecy at least once a month, because apparently I need both a city and a lake to function.

I hosted Design Journeys, a podcast where I interviewed designers about their careers — 93 episodes over 5 years. I mentor junior designers when I can. And I'm currently training to run the Canal de l'Ourcq (108km) in a single day. Which is either the best or worst decision I've ever made.

As a designer, I'm fast — I prototype before I debate, and I'd rather test a bad idea on Monday than discuss a good one until Friday. People I work with tend to say I bring structure to messy situations, which is probably why I've spent most of my career in health: a domain where the complexity is real, the stakes matter, and nothing ships without clarity.

I've built and led design teams, design systems, and products from zero at companies like Heloa and Cardiologs.

I'm looking for my next role in healthtech or medtech — somewhere between Senior and Head of — where I can keep doing what I do best: making complex things usable, and making the teams that build them better.
