Arnaud Alves — Independent Web & Product Designer

Independent Product & Digital Designer based in Paris.

With 15+ years of experience and a background in art direction, I’ve worked on digital products, e-commerce, editorial platforms and design systems. I combine product thinking, interaction and visual design, which allows me to look at projects from both a functional and creative perspective.

I like turning complex problems into simple and distinctive experiences, from defining how a product works and feels to shaping its visual direction and the details that make it unique.
