About me
I’m Sabah Kemal Cansu — a freelance product designer with nearly 10 years of experience turning complex problems into simple, human products. I work with startups, scale-ups and enterprises across fintech, SaaS, gaming and Web3, and today I focus on AI-native products and financial systems.
Over the past decade I’ve designed and shipped web and mobile products for teams around the world — from early-stage startups searching for product-market fit to established companies serving millions of users. My work spans the whole product journey: research, UX, interface design and design systems.
What I care about most is clarity. My goal is to let people use powerful applications that feel as simple as possible — whether that’s a trading terminal, an esports super-app or an AI-powered analytics tool.
I’m based in Turkey. Outside of design I’m an active swing trader following the markets, and I love traveling and discovering new cuisines — curiosity that keeps feeding back into the products I build.

AI-native product design & development
Building AI products with Claude and Cursor
I design and ship AI-based products end to end. Beyond the interface, I prototype and build with modern AI tooling — using Claude for reasoning, product logic and content, and Cursor for hands-on development — so an idea can go from concept to a working product fast.
AI-native product design
Designing experiences where LLMs and intelligent workflows are the core of the product, not a bolt-on feature.

Fintech & financial systems
Senior-level experience in financial product design
Finance is where I go deepest. I’ve designed trading and investment experiences, brokerage and financial-operations flows, and the complex processes behind them — and as an active trader myself, I understand these products from the user’s side too.
Trading & investment platforms
Terminals, portfolios and order flows that make complex market data usable, fast and calm under pressure.
Brokerage & financial operations
Onboarding, KYC, account management and back-office processes for brokerages and financial institutions.
Financial process & flow design
Mapping and designing the end-to-end processes that financial products depend on, from regulation to UX.
