Seb Jarquin - Designer

Hello, I’m a designer who builds intuitive and delightful digital services that help people.

8 years of experience as an IC and design lead across brand and product, from early-stage to established teams.

I'm a systems-minded product designer with a strong eye for detail, from early concepts to polished interfaces.

I’ve worked with many founders taking products from 0 to 1, and I’m a former founder and founding designer myself.

I’m experienced working end-to-end and enjoy user research and shaping product vision as much as shipping and iteration.

I’m not an engineer but I grasp technical specs quickly and provide clear documentation and guidance during implementation.

I design with a focus on clarity and efficiency, aiming to communicate ideas and solve problems without unnecessary complexity. My work is guided by purpose and grounded in context, whether that’s responding to a business need or contributing something meaningful beyond it. I strive to create work that is intuitive and self-explanatory, taking into account how people perceive, understand, and use what’s in front of them. I believe design should feel human and delightful. Careful craft and attention to detail help keep experiences pleasant and engaging while preserving utility.

Info

I studied visual communication and design at Pratt Institute and started out in branding and art direction before joining Loeb.nyc’s incubator as a product designer. There, I worked closely with early-stage teams, helping take products from 0 to 1 and learning how to think in systems across brand and product. I later co-founded Troop, a civic tech startup focused on shareholder activism, where I became the founding designer and head of product. Today, I work independently through my studio, The Other Design Office, collaborating on cross-disciplinary design projects with organizations such as the OECD. I speak three languages, love the outdoors, and draw a lot in my spare time. I’m currently based in Paris.
