Respecting Airbnb brand and design system
When working for a client like Airbnb, it is obvious that you will have to follow their nicely done design system.

Credits acceptance flow
Congratulations, you got Airbnb credits!
Olympians receive an email saying that they have Airbnb credits to redeem. The flow will be different if they are logged in or if they need to create an account.

Accept your Airbnb credits
Once you are logged in, you can accept your Airbnb credits with a small confetti moment 🥳
Confetti moment when accepting credit
Robin was a phenomenal designer for our team. He designed one of our highest priority projects of the year, creating a seamless and intuitive experience for our Olympics and Paralympics partnership. Perhaps most impressive was his ability to quickly learn a new design language system at Airbnb, as well as align his designs to both the user and business goals. He required minimal guidance, chartered a lot of territory himself, and was a joy to work with while at it. I highly recommend Robin for anyone looking for a strategic design leader who can guide teams to produce truly magical experiences for users.
Athletes Interviews
Drive Fans to Airbnb Experiences
This out-of-brief concept shows that the brief is just a starting point for designers. The goal of those interviews is to drive fans to Airbnb and have them book experiences offered below the interview.
Interview prompt
Interview creation by the athletes
To make the interview creation process easier, I’ve created an interview form where athletes can fill out their info, answer some questions and add their assets. Voila!

Dynamic Header
We would create a hero customized by the country of the athlete to double down on the pride of representing your country.
Examples of Headers from different countries
Interview page
Thanks to the content the athletes filled in, we’d generate a custom article for them to share in their social medias.
Example of an article
Email with pre created asset to share
Once the article has been proofread by the Airbnb team, we will send athletes an email including a media with a quote from the article so they have something to share along with their posts.

What did I learn?
The brief is only the start of the project
A brief is here to make sure the things that needs to be done get done. But, as a designer, we have the power to go above and beyond and propose some solutions that we think could solve a problem.
Presentation is as important as the work
When presenting to a large team, it is super important to make sure your points get across smoothly. Being concise, impactful (and fun) is key.
Being reliable should be your main priority
As external contractors, it is easy to overpromise and then have a hard time delivering on those promises. My aim is to set achieving goals and deadlines... but then push to go above and beyond.
Let's work together!
Be my guest! (great Airbnb joke)
Hit me up at noguier.robin@gmail.com and we might end up renting an Airbnb somewhere to do some design sprints!
