Resume

Quentin Guislain

Product Design Lead · Munich

Product Design Lead with experience leading a design team and owning design across an entire marketplace. I build design systems and use AI to prototype directly in code at production fidelity. Before moving into product design, I spent ten years in marketing, including roles as Head of Marketing and CMO.

Experience

Product Design Lead · buycycle, Munich

Mar 2023 – present

Led design across every product surface on web and in the app as buycycle became a leading European marketplace for pre-owned cycling equipment, including bikes and components, before expanding into equipment for other sports.

  • Product scope. Discovery and purchase across the homepage, shop, product pages and checkout. Account access, user and seller profiles, and listing flows. Chat and negotiation, shipping, packing and claims.
  • Product rebrand and design system. Led a complete product rebrand and built, evolved and maintained the design system across web and app.
  • Designing in code. Built an AI framework that combined the design system with buycycle’s marketplace model. It let me prototype at production fidelity in Claude Code, using existing components and product rules. In September 2026, I began opening my own merge requests in both repositories.
  • Design team. Managed two designers, an intern and a UX writer. Guided designers responsible for core product experiences from problem framing through review and handover.
