Profil picture

Hi, I am Tristan Penin, UI/UX designer.

I like to design interactivity projects (Interfaces, Web Design, Apps) and study future users.

After an interesting experience in an interior design studio, I became passionate about object design and innovative bio-plastics.

Come discover my work and learn a little more about me.

Thyroid

& Bioplastics

Illustration thyroïde

In 2014 I suffered from a thyroid disease (small gland located at the base of the neck) which is called 'Graves’ disease'.
The body attacks itself and the gland releases a lot more hormones than usual. Eventually all the organs end up functioning at an accelerated rate, as if you were exercising 24 hours a day!

This illness broke out at the end of my studies and changed many perspectives. Furthermore, the 4 long-term hormonal treatments between 2014 and 2022 had a significant impact on my life.

During the treatments I decided to approach an area that interests me a lot: Product Design, more specifically through the use of bio-plastics.

After a lot of research I finally created a new lightweight, waterproof and biodegradable material, which could be used to make furniture and decorative items.
With a high cost and certain manufacturing constraints this solution is currently only intended for a niche market.

In 2022 my health improved and I decided to put my project aside to come back to work in UI/UX design.

Today I was able to resume a normal life with the help of various organizations, and thanks to the work of the entire team of doctors by my side all these years: general practitioners, endocrinologists, surgeons, ENTs, allergists...

Career

& Experiences

I have already been employed in an advertising agency, and worked for several small companies to ensure the creation of their graphic identities. Added to this are other experiences in interactive design (interfaces, prototypes, Arduino projects) and Art Direction (scenography).

I can now count on new skills acquired in recent years in product design (3D design, 3D printing, industrial materials and techniques, environmental regulations).
I also approached communities of "Makers" and studied their collaboration and communication methods.

Curious and attentive, I am a good communicator. These past experiences turned out to be positive and gave full satisfaction to my employers.
