louis charron / about
I’m a digital + tangible product designer from France, currently working as researcher at MIT Senseable City Lab. I use design to explain complex things.
My work at MIT Senseable City Lab is about helping communicate cutting edge research to a broad audience. During spring 2018 I worked as teaching assistant at MIT School of Architecture and Planning. I also taught a design workshop about smart city, data and citizens at EnsAD, Paris.
Before joining MIT I designed interfaces of all kinds regarding energy information with EDF Design Lab. In 2016 I graduated with a Master of Product Design from EnsAD, Paris. Alma, my graduation project, is a set of pedagogical games (digital + tangible) explaining the algorithms we use everyday.
