Xavier Guyot de Camy
@xavierguyotdecamy
I’m a Lead Product Designer who structures products, workflows, and teams—turning ambiguity into usable tools.
What I'm looking for
I design and structure products, workflows, and teams—solving problems by giving them structure, whether it lands as an interface, a team's operating model, or a tool nobody built yet.
In my recent work for major brands like Renault, Volkswagen, and Carrefour, I’ve designed mobile app LLM-solutions, client portals, B2B platforms, and e-commerce websites—often creating the missing connective tissue: a workflow, a design system, or a tool.
As Director of Design & Experiences at Altavia Disko, I elevated to lead the agency’s design practice, owning standards, methods, tools, and the quality of delivery across accounts, while extending design leadership into how the team works. Before that, as Lead UX at the same agency, I led framing from discovery to UI direction and shaped recommendations for clients and competitive pitches.
I also run an independent practice that speeds up delivery with real production tools—like a generator that turns a client’s Figma design system into production-ready, brand-faithful web pages (validated mock-up to shipped code). I’m driven by clarity and rigor, and an obsession with anticipating what breaks before it does.

Independent product and web work under my own practice, plus the tools I build to speed it up.
- Built a generator that turns a client's Figma design system into production-ready web pages: brand-faithful by construction, with a block-memory system that reuses already-coded components to cut time-to-market (validated mock-up to shipped code, from 1-2 weeks down to a day) and an attached CMS for co
Led the framing of the agency's digital projects, from discovery to UI direction, and owned recommendations for active clients and competitive pitches.
- Scoped Renault's hello reno app after launch: framed the in-app integration of its LLM assistant (tone, safeguards, multimodal content push, AR, a per-vehicle calendar), balancing a new feature against the app's existing content. App at 400k+ dow
Owned one of the agency's top-three accounts end to end: strategy, consulting and business development, plus coordination of the four Altavia Group entities involved, to hold one coherent approach across them. Ran stakeholder workshops and led additional digital accounts, deepening my product and Figma practice along the way.
Managed digital projects across creative, client and tech teams. Supported Le Panier Bleu, a directory of open local businesses launched during lockdown, including Algolia search configuration (synonyms, error and trend review). Learned and shipped websites on Webflow (naturSource, Desjardins).
Office coordination for a Montreal digital agency, plus process improvement and support to the accounts and tech teams. Built, produced and ran the agency's first two podcasts end to end. Shifted toward digital project work as COVID reduced the office-management need.
Co-designed and set up the governance process for the organization's three thematic Streams (Data, Content, Domains): Coordinating and Working Groups, preparation and co-facilitation of the policy work, a formal feedback process, and the working documents feeding the 3rd Global Conference in Berlin, whose format I co-designed.

Full-time: continued on the Retrospect Database and co-organized the 2nd Global Conference of the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network in Ottawa, a 200-stakeholder international event (governments, platforms, technical operators, academia, civil society): invitations, speaker booking, logistics. In parallel, ran all of I&J's communications, creating social and document templates (Sketch) and a v
Alongside my studies: monitoring of the organization's topics and case-writing for the I&J Retrospect Database, a public, filterable database of internet-jurisdiction cases worldwide (source cross-checking, case drafting, importance ranking, tagging).
Helped launch a luxury hairbrush boutique in Paris: set up the inventory system, built the website, product sourcing and sales.
