Noémie A. Guérin
Hello, I am Noémie
Currently working remote from Nantes, France
I work as a Product Manager at Companion, where I use mixed research methods to guide our product development. On any given day I can be found putting together wireframes, touching up a PRD, or running a usability test or survey study.
I was born in France and grew up in the countryside surrounded by cats, dogs, and horses. I studied animal and human behavior in college and grad school. Now in San Francisco, I strive to put together well-designed hardware and software products that serve pet parents.
Ping me at noemie.a.guerin@gmail.com
PS: Some of the topics I like to nerd about are equine behavior, indie music, and sustainability.
Side projects
(Did I mention I love donkeys?)
I recently joined the board of a not-for-profit that provides visits of a miniature horse and miniature donkey to kids in need in San Francisco.
Visit caringcowgirl.org or email liz@caringcowgirl.org to schedule a visit, or ping me for more information!
I am a trainer for the Observation of Human-Animal Interaction for Research (OHAIRE) behavior coding tool. Visit ohairecoding.com or email ohairecoding@gmail.com for further information.
