Hi, I’m Denis — a Creative Director and Product Design Operations Leader specialising in AI-native product transformation. I bridge the gap between complex enterprise strategy and high-velocity execution. With a Bachelor’s in Mathematics and Computer Science, I bring an engineering-grade logic to Product Design. Over 15 years at AOE, I’ve architected scalable systems for global benchmarks including Sony, Kia, BMWб Heathrow, and T-Mobile, taking products from internal concepts to international scale. My Core Value Proposition: - AI-Native Design Ops: I architect agentic workflows and AI-driven processes that drastically reduce time-to-market. I don’t just use AI; I design the systems that allow AI to scale within the product lifecycle. - The Design-Engineering Bridge: My background in Math and Computer Science allows me to speak the native language of Engineering. I ensure design vision is algorithmically sound, technically feasible, and optimized for performance. - Builder Mindset: From co-founding Deonex to running my current AI R&D Lab, I operate with an entrepreneurial spirit. I understand unit economics and product-market fit, ensuring design always serves business growth. - Scale-up Leadership: I specialise in building "Lean-High-Impact" teams. I set the quality bar for craft while fostering a culture of curiosity and operational excellence. A Philosophy of Resilience: My professional "Why" is rooted in a relentless spirit of resilience. I have witnessed the "impossible" become reality—from supporting my mother in reinventing herself as a YouTube influencer with 500K+ followers to witnessing my daughter’s survival after being born at only 600 grams. She is now thriving, a living reminder that constraints are simply the foundation for growth. I bring this same grit to business. I don’t just solve design problems; I solve the commercial challenges that drive market leadership. Let’s connect to architect the future of AI-native products.
