About me

Business thinking, modern design.

Sabah Kemal Cansu speaking on stage at JCI Türkiye Fall Summit 2024

I'm Sabah Kemal Cansu, a product designer based in Mersin, Türkiye — working globally. Over the last 8+ years I've designed end-to-end digital products for web and mobile: trading platforms, esports super apps, AI products and news platforms used by millions.

My core strength is taking a product from zero to launch — research, flows, wireframes, polished UI, design systems and developer handoff. I've led design at Finoku, the technology arm of a brokerage and investment company, where I shaped trading and investment experiences across web and mobile.

Finance is my home turf. I understand trading methods, market data and the psychology behind financial decisions — I'm a swing trader myself. That domain knowledge shows up in every fintech screen I design.

Beyond design, I'm hands-on with Google Ads and Meta Ads: I design landing pages and funnels with conversion in mind, and I can run the campaigns that feed them.

I'm also an AI-native builder. With Claude, Cursor and Codex I ship complete products on my own — frontend, backend and infrastructure on Supabase, Vercel, PostgreSQL, Neon and RunPod. My live products — ChartPilot, an AI chart analysis tool for traders, and Yaptım mı?, an ADHD-friendly task tracker on the App Store — are designed, built and operated entirely by me.

My mission is simple: enable people to use applications that are as simple as possible. Currently studying Business Administration at Istanbul Technical University. When I'm not designing, I'm probably reading charts or traveling.

FAQ

Who is Sabah Kemal Cansu?

An AI-native product designer based in Mersin, Türkiye, working globally. 8+ years of experience designing web and mobile products across fintech, AI and gaming — including trading platforms like Tracer and InvestAZ — plus live products I built myself: ChartPilot and Yaptım mı?.

What is an AI-native product designer?

A designer who uses AI tools — LLMs like Claude, and AI pair-programmers like Cursor and Codex — as core parts of their workflow, taking a product from research and UI design all the way to shipped, production code. No handoff to a separate engineering team.

Do you only design, or can you build too?

I work like a forward deployed engineer with a designer's eye: design in Figma, build full-stack with Claude, Cursor and Codex, ship to production on Vercel with Supabase, PostgreSQL, Neon and RunPod.
