Hi, I’m Arthur! I design complex professional tools. I help shape and ship the product: from user interviews and rapid prototyping to polished UI, handoff, and post-launch iteration. I use AI to test hypotheses with real prototypes, ship production-ready components, and fix visuals without overloading frontend devs.
I believe in design craft: typography, icons, colors, animations, accessibility — the details that set great apart from generic. I write and speak about this — including a talk at Figma Config on programmable color systems. In a vibecoded world, craft is the differentiator.

Tegon is an open-source, AI-first issue tracker for engineering teams. The product worked, but looked and felt like every other tracker on the market. The team came with two asks: a new visual identity to set them apart, and AI at its core, rethinking everyday workflows.
Solution
At Evil Martians, we work as partners, helping shape the product alongside the team. I took the AI direction from a chatbot concept to something more targeted: native AI woven into everyday workflows, paired with a full visual redesign. For example, the new issue creation flow proactively suggests the right assignee, flags unclear descriptions, and splits large issues into smaller, actionable ones. Other features included smart filters, cycle summaries, duplicate detection, and text assistance.
Results
Successfully launched Tegon’s version 2.0 in just two and a half months

Waveterm is an open source, cross-platform terminal for new developers that combines traditional terminal features with graphical capabilities. The founder came to us with a lo-fi tech demo and a clear vision: a terminal built for a new generation of developers, with UI, tabs and clear command separation. The challenge was to create the entire product UX and UI from scratch while keeping it approachable for users, with power features like remote connections, Vim, and more.
Solution
Taking the demo as the starting point, I designed the product from the ground up. Tabs were organized into dedicated workspaces for each project, so nothing could get lost in hundreds of open tabs. The original command separation feature evolved into a full chat-like interface, making long sessions easy to scan. A built-in file previewer keeps users in context without switching apps. This visual redesign and theming system gave the product a distinct identity.
Miru is a cybersecurity, investigation, and web content filters platform that protects small teams from phishing, data leaks. It stands out from other similar solutions because it targets startups, who are just as vulnerable to security attacks. We’ve worked with Miru at different stages. This time the team had secured funding and validated their idea, but didn’t have the team to take over the project and hired us to build the tool from scratch.
Solution
We offered consultation regarding information security with our co-founder and CTO involvement. Then, we designed and built an admin console for a lightweight Chrome extension, which gives lean security teams (or founders wearing that hat) simple controls. These include: allow/deny lists for domains, contextual warning banners, sensitive data alerts, and a clear view of reported threats.
Wing Cloud is a visual deployment platform for Winglang, an open-source language that unifies infrastructure and application code. However, developers still needed a way to visualize and manage their Wing apps without DevOps expertise, and existing tools didn’t cut it. The team was testing different approaches and needed help designing and building them.
Solution
We designed the UI/UX for Wing Cloud, a visual platform that rendered Wing applications as interactive node graphs. This allowed developers to see how queues, buckets, functions, and APIs connected. The platform included opinionated CI/CD, cost estimation, and multi-cloud support. The client was happy with our work because we fully understood the product’s vision and the designs helped them understand the project’s scope and make adjustments before investing heavily.
