Expert Vetted (Top 1%). Founder of Sanel Studio. I don't just design your product, I architect it, prototype it, and get it to market. I'm a one-person product team for funded startups and enterprise companies who need to move fast without hiring five people. I use AI tooling (Claude Code, Stitch, V0) to deliver what used to take a designer, a PM, and a frontend dev. Recent example: 81 interactive screens, production-ready, with a full design system — built and delivered faster than most studios finish a discovery phase. Another: a complete native macOS medical application, 45,000 lines of Swift, shipped to TestFlight — built entirely through AI-assisted development. What I deliver that other designers don't: → Product architecture. I write PRDs, define data models, map information architecture, and make product decisions — not just pixel decisions. I've simplified broken taxonomies, designed regulatory compliance systems, and built approval rule engines. → Interactive prototypes that actually work. Not Figma clickthroughs — real React and Next.js prototypes deployed to Vercel that engineering can reference, stakeholders can demo, and investors can interact with. → AI-native workflows. I built a design pipeline where AI generates code, code converts to Figma, and Figma ships to developers — all documented with reusable prompt playbooks. This is why I deliver 10x the scope at a fraction of agency pricing. → Full go-to-market. I've set up and managed Google Ads campaigns, built GA4/GTM analytics stacks, run SEO strategy, and achieved 14.6% conversion rates on landing pages I designed and built. Verticals I know deeply: fintech (consumer banking, DeFi, high-risk payments, trading), healthtech (clinical workflows, medical devices, regulatory compliance), B2B SaaS (MarTech dashboards, CRE platforms, enterprise tools), and consumer mobile. Published apps: SoFi, EndoMac, PrepSync, Funding Circle, Motif, Wend, Odola, Xace, Qirnas, Faith Interactive, Intelidate. I work with a limited number of clients to ensure the quality that got me Expert Vetted. Message me with your product challenge.
