About Julie Chabin

I'm Julie Chabin, a French product designer, builder, and writer.

I've spent over 15 years in tech, most notably leading Product Design at Product Hunt from 2015 to 2023. Along the way I worked at AngelList, Deezer, and other product-focused teams where I learned how to ship fast, think systemically, and keep things simple.

Today, I'm Head of Experience at Pearl where I work across product strategy, interaction design, identity, and implementation, with a particular focus on human-AI interaction.

I like working close to the product surface. I prototype directly in code, build design systems, and explore how software shapes attention, behavior, and decision-making.

Design, for me, is how a product communicates, how it feels, how it earns attention. I don't care about silos, the goal is to ship something real that brings results.

I live in the sunny south of France with my partner, our daughter, and our cat. I read fantasy, watch K-dramas, and play video games when I can.

While I'm currently not looking for new opportunities, I'm always up for a good conversation about design, startups, or building something useful.
