Hi, I’m Ayodeji Davids. I’m a Senior Product Designer and Founder with over 8 years of experience architecting 0-to-1 products. I specialize in the "Human Layer" of AI. I operate at the intersection of design, product, and some engineering. My focus is on velocity, systemic craft, and shipping products that define their category.
My Experience
12+
Years of Experience
Founding Partner
Product Design & Strategy
2025 – Present
Leading the end-to-end product lifecycle for AI-native platforms. I specialize in building functional MVPs—like Mirrorly and Clyq—using AI-assisted development (Vibecoding) to bridge the gap between high-fidelity design and production code. I focus on validating product-market fit through rapid iteration and competitive intelligence.
Lead Product Designer
Cantina Labs
2021 – 2024
Led the design strategy for the desktop evolution of the Cantina AI platform. I was responsible for maintaining semantic parity between mobile and desktop environments while architecting the 'Trust Layer' for human-AI interaction. I managed cross-functional alignment to ensure a seamless transition from social-first to agency-first product logic.
Co-founder
Popcrn Inc
2018 – 2021
Co-founder and Lead Designer of a social-discovery platform funded by Snapchat Inc. I successfully raised $500k to scale a vision for community-driven engagement, overseeing the entire product lifecycle from initial seed to execution. I managed the end-to-end UX/UI and coordinated technical sprints, leading the company through high-stakes growth and product validation.
