I design, write code, and ship products people actually use, from the first conversation to the last pixel. ## Approach ### Love for the craft No detail is too small. How a product feels is the sum of tiny decisions: a label, a delay, an edge case. I treat each one as a chance to delight, not something to ship later. ### Ship, then refine I aim for a first cut we can use, not a perfect one we can present. Once it’s live, I go back into the product, motion, labels, the last 10%, until the whole journey feels simple. ### Clarity over complexity Hard problems don’t get solved by adding another screen. I sit with the problem until the path is obvious, then I take the weight off the user so they can just do the thing they came to do. ## Selected work - **[Pacelane.ai](/work/pacelane)** (2025 – 2026) — Co-founded and designed Pacelane.ai, an AI writing agent that drafts LinkedIn posts in an executive’s own voice, taking it from product strategy and brand through Figma to a shipped React front-end. - **[Gemhaus](/work/gemhaus)** (2025) — Designed Gemhaus end to end, a fractional real-estate investment app where users buy a slice of a home and track rent, portfolio performance, and expenses. - **[Meltwater](/work/meltwater)** (2024 – 2025) — Senior Product Designer at Meltwater, a near-$1B ARR media intelligence platform, where I added AI insights to Insight Reports and designed the universal filter system now used across all 19 of their products. - **[Cinepolis](/work/cinepolis)** (2023) — Led the mobile app redesign for Cinépolis, the third-largest cinema chain in the world, covering showtimes, format and seat selection, concessions, and ticketing across native iOS and Android. - **[Stream Stakes](/work/stream-stakes)** (2024) — Designed Stream Stakes, a mobile game built on a direct Universal Music catalogue contract where players stake on which song in a pairing will outperform the other around real release moments. - **[Random Selection](/work/random-selection)** (2023 – present) — A collection of freelance product design, UX, and front-end engagements from 2023 to 2026, each taken from research through to an interface a team could ship. ## Projects - **[Fotospin.ai](/projects/fotospin)** (2025 – present) — Founded Fotospin.ai, an AI headshot app that reached 7,000 downloads and $2,000 in revenue in 6 months, shipping brand, product, Flutter on iOS and Android, and a Supabase and Fal.ai back-end as a solo founder. - **[Spiiine](/projects/spiiine)** (2024) — Founded and shipped Spiiine to the App Store, an iOS app that aggregates brand collaboration opportunities for UGC creators into a single feed. - **[Bunnyhop](/projects/bunnyhop)** (2026 – present) — Building Bunnyhop, an in-progress attempt at the largest web design system available, with thousands of components, 300 colour palettes, hundreds of motion-ready sections, and an MCP server for designers. - **[AI Workshops](/projects/ai-workshops)** (2026) — Created and facilitated AI Acceleration for Product Designers, a six-week hands-on workshop for Andela’s talent network on applying current AI tools throughout the product design process. ## Skills - **Product Design:** Product Strategy, UX Design, UI Design, Interaction Design, 0 to 1 Product Design, Mobile Design (iOS and Android), Native iOS and Android Design, Web App Design, Responsive Web Design, Consumer App Design, Enterprise SaaS Design, Prototyping, Wireframing, User Flows, Information Architecture, Journey Mapping, Visual Design, Brand Design, Marketing Site and Landing Page Design, Pitch Deck Design, Data Visualization, Design QA - **Motion Design:** Motion Design for Websites, Motion Design for Mobile, Micro-interactions, Scroll-driven Animation, Page Transitions, Interaction Animation, GSAP Animation - **Research:** Primary User Research, Secondary and Competitor Research, User Testing, Usability Testing, Affinity Mapping, User Personas, Research Synthesis - **Design Systems:** Design Tokens, Component Library Architecture, Multi-theme Systems (light and dark), Design System Governance, Figma Variables and Components, Front-End Implementation of Design Systems - **Engineering:** React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Vite, GSAP, Lenis, Motion, Flutter, Supabase, Netlify, HTML and CSS, Phaser - **AI:** AI-Native Product Design, AI Product Features, Agent Harnesses (Cursor, Hermes, Manus), Prompt and Meta-Prompt Engineering, Generative Image, Video, and 3D Pipelines (Fal.ai), MCP Servers and Integrations, Figma MCP, LLM Evaluation and Model Selection, Model Routing (OpenRouter), AI-Assisted User Research, Web Data Extraction (Firecrawl), AI Search and Research (Tavily), Automated Content Pipelines - **Leadership and Teaching:** Managing Junior Designers, Mentoring Designers, Workshop Instruction, Workshop Facilitation, Curriculum Design, Teaching AI for Product Design, Public Speaking, Design Critiques - **Tools:** Figma, Cursor, Hermes Agent, Framer, Granola, Fal.ai, Composio, OpenRouter, ChatGPT, Firecrawl, Tavily, Agent Mail, Zernio, Manus, Claude ## Contact - Email: contact@romulosandri.com - WhatsApp: +5563984602704 - GitHub: https://github.com/romulosandri - X: https://x.com/sandri_romulo - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/romulo-sandri/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rom_bunnyhop/ - Blog: https://sandriromulo.substack.com/
