A strong product saves time, adds value, competes well, and provides a good experience start to finish.
My name is André Pilch. I'm a christian born and raised in France with 3 citizenships (US, FR, UK) now residing and working in the US. Currently working as a Senior Product Designer & Frontend Software Engineer at WHCC, creating uniquely approachable design tools for photographers and their clients.
I'm experienced in designing and scaling lasting products across industries. Skilled at obtaining desired results while working within constraints, understanding and crafting vision and strategy to create truly innovative solutions, simplifying complex functionality into clear usable solutions, balancing many moving products, adapting to change, user centric design thinking, and working collaboratively with users and other teams. My experience as a Software Engineer combined with my ability to turn rough ideas into well-defined software solutions creates seamless collaboration with engineers.
Outside of work you can find me in the woods of Wisconsin where I live or kayaking down a river. I also enjoy taking photographs of the world around me and enjoyed creating brands for many different clients for 15 years.
Side Project
In January 2025 I started working on my very own React NextJS powered PWA multilingual Bible app (eternitybible.app) focused on user experience. This has been a great challenge, full of fun and learning.
