[IxDA Discuss] Any IxD in the list fluent in French IxD?

[Milan Guenther]

Hi!

I'm from Germany but currently studying/working in France, here is my
experience:

in france design refers to product design, visual design is called
graphisme. of course product designers who are working in the area of
interactive products and media call themselves designeurs. ihm (=hci)
does not involve many designers, most people working there do
psychology, ergonomics and informatics. they call themselves
designeur-ergonome, concepteur d'interface, créateur d'interface
utilisateur, spécialiste utilisabilité et ergonomie/experience
utilisateur etc.

interaction design until now does not have a wide reputation in france
(nor in germany).

cordialement
