AR Metref
@armetref
I design scalable B2B products, design systems, and AI-assisted workflows that improve adoption and conversion.
What I'm looking for
I've led product design for an unbranded advertisement agency in Paris, helping grow its design function into a six-person multidisciplinary operation and supporting its move into larger B2B and enterprise projects.
I built the company's first digital acquisition system, using A/B-tested campaigns to grow digital orders from roughly one every three days to an average of 100 per day. I also led UX research, content strategy, information architecture, and design for its B2B website, contributing to a 27% conversion-rate increase.
At The Solar Labs, I redesigned complex solar-design workflows, improving first-click accuracy from 34% to 87%, reducing navigation time by 40%, and helping new users reach Day 1 proficiency. At Tata Consultancy Services, I contributed UX and interface work for enterprise platforms serving 100K+ daily users, including Adobe projects.
I've also taught practical UX at GoMyCode for 100+ practitioners and evaluated 300+ portfolios and prototypes. Alongside product work, I'm building a story-based chess game for children with adaptive Stockfish AI difficulty, custom UI, game maps, and chess puzzles.
