Vitor Altavista / About

A product mindset.
A visual foundation.

I design complex product workflows and distinctive websites, supported by strong experience in visual systems, brand identity, and art direction. I connect clear structure with a recognizable point of view across platforms, services, and responsive experiences.

How I work

I work from information architecture and user flows through interface design, responsive behavior, visual hierarchy, brand expression, and developer handoff. For Embassy, I directed a Claude-assisted design-system package and led a dedicated walkthrough with the development team. For NYAA, I connected website design to admissions and reviewed the implementation.

I studied Interactive Design at Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto and work across product, web, and brand design for international clients. My background includes visual identities, campaigns, packaging, and brand systems, which helps me maintain a consistent experience across product, marketing, and launch surfaces.
