About Arnaud Spuhler. Design partner

Approach

Together, we will turn insights and questions into opportunities. We'll create a service your clients will want to use through collaboration on strategy, design, and direction.

I combine asynchronous communication with focused synchronous discussions to maximize time and productivity. While all collaborations are remote-first and part-time, I'm open to occasional in-person sprints and brainstorming sessions.

I specialize in designing innovative new products and enhancing existing ones, but my expertise span across various disciplines.

Principles

Explorative playground

My approach involves sharing ongoing work through brief screen recordings or notes. My pace allows for a wide range of iterations and opportunities, leading us toward solutions that resonate.

Articulate a foundation

An early-stage startup requires just a few key elements to articulate the foundation of a vibrant brand and design system. This foundation evolves with your company and users over time.

Cross-collaboration

I firmly believe that successful teams embrace inclusivity and collaboration to foster clarity and alignment in solving design challenges.

Balancing risk and scalability

As a pragmatic partner, I’ve learned that early on, solutions may not necessarily require immediate scalability. It's vital to evaluate every tradeoff. Iterative design and ongoing user validation are keys as feature adoption often introduces new challenges.

Navigating the design spectrum

I’m comfortable working from the very beginning of the service development process to the end product. Yet, I'm keenly aware that the most intricate challenges often reside at a system level: Building cohesive alignment around business and organizational design, ensuring durability and sustainability.
